Miklasgard's night markets is the time and place to shop and dine

man peddling cheap trinketsThis is the only way to legally sell trinkets in Miklasgard, in the Tokyo Gardens.

Ever since coming back to Miklasgard I have been pleasantly surpirzed by the cosmopolitan developments in the literally free market. Though strictly controlled by the Consumer watrch groups and governments agencies, the Chinese trinkets have made their way to the sleek, clean and high-quality fare of Miklasgard's shopping experience.

Though the Chinese (and more predominantly Japanese, Taiwanese and Thai) culture and goods are available, they are sold only in bulk, which means the public can find them only at the Market's Spice Alleys, and 30 minutes away by express subway, in the impressive Tokyo Gardens, stretching from Belgarhaven (Anglified as Belgravia, now deAnglified again) to Tokyotown.

These are the only placs in the world where you can buy anything that comes from the orient, but buy in bulk only: batteries, windup and any other small toys, belt buckles, nail care kits, CDROMs, and all kinds of imaginable ware you would not want to pay more than 1 or 2 Darlings. (1 Darling today is worth about $1.20, 1000 Darlings is 1 gold crown. Darling is subdivided into qusnrters only)

This is a sample of prices:

cheap comb 0.25 d.,
in bulk -10 d/pound

a pack of 10 CD Roms 3 d
or 45 d/pound

shower curtain - 1d, or 20 d/pound(?)

Pad Thai to go - 3.5d
Bul Go Ki with everything 4 d
Sushi-Sashimi in a nice Bento box to keep - 20d
