India Trade Expo, Trinidad

The faint fragrance of incense greeted us as we walked through the door at the Centre of Excellence, Macoya. More than 80 booths of merchandise were laid out, and for a moment we felt we had been transported to an exciting bustling street in India. 

Clothes, jewellery, furniture and household items were all being sold and customers were excitedly poring over the bargains as soft Indian music serenaded them. One of the booths was doing henna designs, which I would have loved to get done on my hands if we had more time.

This Expo, which was open for ten days, has closed but during the year there are other Indian Expositions, and it is worth your while to check it out the next time one is here.
