Selling In The Spice Bazaar
I loved the Spice Bazaar and the larger Grand Bazaar. I was mainly interested in the jewelry in the Grand Bazaar, but it was a little disappointing despite how much there was. Historically, the purpose of the jewelry was as a display of wealth and a dowry, so the gold was very pure, and therefore too soft to be worked very creatively.

Arches and Lights
I never tire of architecture and arches. The Spice Bazaar was crowded and it was a challenge to incorporate the arches and lights with a symetrical focus.
