Before leaving, one thing is left to do : shopping. Bundi is the ideal place for it, following our rule of never going in shops were people are calling us before we step in. In Bundi, we hardly ever hear a shopkeeper inviting us to “just look”. We can even look at the stalls freely, without being almost forced to buy. We have this plan to bring back from India some presents for friends and family, of course, but also to get some items we would sell later in Finland in order to start our company going. Our dream: to buy a van this year and travel back from Finland to France while touring our show. But the van costs money and to get this money somehow, we first need to buy some stuffs… Neither Cécile nor Perrine has any idea about commerce. And we end up completely blocked choosing anything. We are both non-shopping freaks, and can’t help each other. We look, doubt, don’t buy. We do finally purchase one pack of herbs and get completely cheated on the price. Shopping is not meant for us. We almost give up when, suddenly appears a few scarves that are perfect. We discuss the price enough to be happy with it and the merchant also. Challenge completed, hello little van!! After this, shopping has gone increasingly better. India is empowering us. We are more peaceful and rested, take life philosophically and are able to buy something in less than 2 days! Little daily wins.
