Ladies apparel especially for the Muslim women are seen sold all over the area. Bundles of fabrics are also sold in large quantities in many shops who deal with local wholesalers.

    Large sailing ships are always popular Lego sets if sales on
    the secondary market are anything to go by. But are you aware that Lego also produce electric toy trains and that they not only have trains, but also locomotives, track,
