Discount City

I spent the afternoon in sleepy Mersing yesterday, getting some washing done and trawling dozens of all-purpose shops (ie. they sell everything, from tools to toys - often on the same set of shelves).

Everything is ridiculously cheap in this town, and I bagged a bundle of badges, books, snacks and gifts for family. I also indulged in a couple of DVD purchases, a bargain at R15 a pop. How legit they are is still in question (I didn't know Spiderman III was out on DVD already...)

I also spotted a range of awesome shirts and sneakers in one store, and will be back on that boat to the mainland to pick some up as soon as I get a chance.
