Tour de El Camino Stage 4: Sunnyvale

I finally found the cluster of Indian stores on El Camino. Its between Lawrence and Wolfe. I found seven stores within walking distance of each other, and I took part of that walk. I started at the music and video store, and asked for more children's videos of the Mahabaratsa. I found out that there was a 94 episode tv series that told the whole epic. The shopkeeper explained to me that the Mahabharat was not for kids, and the philosophy would even make an adult's head spin. He recommended I start with the 3 episodes that comprise the Bhagavad Gita. I left the store with that and a kid's video about Krishna's childhood career as a butter thief.

I walk a few doors down to a sari palace and asked specifically for a dark red or blue shirt size 44. They found one for me within seconds, and we all had a great laugh at what an easy customer I was. I felt comfortable enough with them that I was able to ask whether I had to wear an undershirt with the shirt I bought. They confirmed, 'yes'.

I then walked to the electronics store and bought an adapter for my laptop. Having bought an item, I then felt comfortable browsing, but didn't see anything else I was interested in. I then crossed the street and looked at more shirts, almost bought a beautiful purple one that turned out to be too small, and looked at more trinkets but could not find a nice incense holder.

Satisfied that I had finally found the Little Indias of note in the Bay Area, I set my sights on the Little India district of Singapore, and went home and booked a room in a hotel in the Little India distric of Singapore for the night I am spending there before arriving in Delhi.
