Fabric market

Birgitta and Kenneth at Shanti Mullah market, the fabric market in Old Delhi.
It was like heaven for Birgitta.
She has already planned next trip and she will probably spend a week at this market.

Girl dog

I've found a dog to care for in our street. She is so friendly!

Wooden statues

We've been looking for a shop with wooden statues for a client and today we found one at Main Bazar.

Food for a swede

Guess where we are?
When we ordered 10 sandwiches they had to bring the manager since they thought we were kidding.
Three to eat and seven to go.
A night snack and breakfast. Love it!

Blair

Today we met Blair from California and we gave her a Prana nail mat since she works as a nurse and practice yoga.
And she is a very beautiful person!
I know Blair, Yanaiki and Sara will do a lot of business in the future.
California here we come!

A life long dream and she was smiling like the sun when we met the master taylor.

Rose

Leya got a rose from one of the guys at the factory.
She was so proud!

Fran at the factory

Today we went to the factory with Fran, Prana's agent in Argentina and Uruguay.

Vivan

Our landlord's grandson Vivan. So cute!
"Vi vann" means "We won" in swedish, so this is a winner.

Subway

We love Subway!
Swedish people love sandwiches. Anytime of the day.

Fran

Tomorrow we are going to meet Fran, Prana nail mat's agent in Argentina and go to the factory.
He's been travelling around Asia for months, so it will be great to hear about all his adventures.

Cinderella dress

Today we went to the taylor to make Leya's Cinderella dress.

Sick

I've been so sick! Womiting and liver infection.
Four days in hospital and still not OK. We are thinking about going home to Sweden actually. I had two cute visitors the last night. Thanks heaven for insurance!

Fifth disease

Ever heard about the fifth disease?I hadn't until Leya got it last week.
Luckily it wasn't too bad.
Read more about it here.

Ladders

We couldn't believe it when we saw this cycle rickshaw with two long ladders.
Since the cables are hanging so low it's really not a good idea.

White line

One day there was a white line in the middle of the street.
Why? No one cares!

Happy shop owner

Yesterday Leya and I went to Old Delhi and it was very tiring.
Narrow alleys, easy to get lost and no rikshaws.

This happy shop owner sold jewelry parts at Turkman Gate.

Dyeing factory

Yesterday we visited the factory that dyes the inside canvas fabric of our Prana nail mat.
Father and son are running the factory, that is the best dyeing factory in the area. Some of the colors in stock yesterday. Sajeev is very particular with the quality of both the fabric and the dyeing.
Only the best is good enough for our Prana!
