Mysore - "Will you please go away!!!!!"

One of the attractions in Mysore is the market there.

It was so cool walking around looking at the wares the vendors were selling. There were spices,

powdered dyes,
flowers for special occasions,
and fruits and vegetables.
While the atmosphere was just as expected, vendors calling out to buy their stuff, I had one man follow me around for 10 minutes trying to sell me these cheap looking and sounding wooden flutes. The best part was he was showing me how each one worked. He would not go away, I tried being nice, not so nice and rude. Nothing worked. Finally, Cheryl said to ignore him. The fact that I was responding to him meant I was interested. Well even ignoring him did not work. It wasn't until we left the market and walked to our car that he finally gave up. Persistent little bugger!
