    I see people setting up shops on the sidewalk in Brooklyn, NY. This is something you see mostly in the third world countries; however, we have people from all over, so they bring their customs and culture with them.
    BTW, the garden is lovely, and I frequent the one in Bk because it is so peaceful and tranquil.
    Great journey, Chris, and I am enjoying every minute of it 😀

    Let's say that 2000 rupees is the correct price to enjoy this one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world and the locals get to access it for a discounted price of 250 rupees coz it's their heritage and culture to enjoy. It happens pretty much everywhere in the world. MONA, Hobart, AU. St.Petersburg, Russia, Poland, Spain.. etc
