Shopping Infinite

India is famous for its handicrafts and ethnic crafts items. Other popular shopping items that are taken by tourists include Indian spices, Indian tea, pickles of different flavors, exotic perfumes and knick knacks from different states. Goa is the perfect place to shop for souvenirs and those little knick-knacks that never seem to run out of fashion. The best places to hunt for these are the flea markets of Goa. The most famous flea market of Goa is the Anjuna flea market. Apparently, this market was started off by the hippies many years back. Today the flea markets are the favorite haunt of locals as well as tourists. One can find everything and anything in these flea markets. Not just clothes and souvenirs, one can also find enthusiastic musicians, tarot readers, palmists, etc. sitting here and there to amuse tourists. You will find an unusual collection of jewelry, antiques, wooden articles and leatherware and general bric-a-brac at the famous Chor Bazaar in Mumbai. Try to bargain with the traders and you will normally strike a good deal with them. Another market worth visiting is the Crawford market, also in Mumbai, which is famous for its variety of flowers, fruits and meat and also makes a good picture to be captured in your camera. The overcrowded lanes of Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta) still have the old trams that play in this beautiful city. Kolkata has its own share of different government emporiums and cottage emporiums located at the Chowringhee Lane. You can find wonderful handicrafts from all states over here.
