During my recent vacation in Goa, in our hunt to get souvenirs at reasonable price, we stumbled upon a shop near Baga which were literally thronged by foreigners mostly Russians and British, who I came to know were regulars each year. The shop had variety of things to buy, hand fixed price and honestly the best price around. Most of the shops were charging way too much even from us Indians too.
When I was looking around the store for things to buy, what I noticed that many Russians had these very rustic and organic looking packages literally in bunches in their shopping basket. I could not peep into their baskets to figure out what they were. But, my initial thoughts were, may be they were incense. Anyone would have thought so as, the whole shop was smelling of a mix of sandalwood and flowers. At last, I could stop these heaps at a corner and only then I came to know that these were soaps and so strong are their scents that the whole shop were smelling of these.
