Entry 2

Expecting to find a city this large this far North, I did not. This old familiar discomfort at the cramped streets and crowds of people once more crept up. Understand how this many people can live on top of each other I never will. A mystery it will always be. Comforting, the sight of the bazaar is. Much more in my element, I felt right away. No mysteries here. Just demands, offers, and that delicious, illusive common ground somewhere in between. What all men seek. This is what I know. And given our budget, at my best I will need to be.
