A sudden squall sent people scampering for shelter, some huddling under the wide umbrella of the mangosteen vendor, whereas others donned plastic bags on their heads to ward off the raindrops. The mangosteen merchant said, "Bili naman kayo" (Please buy some) and some did. Ah, mangosteen, at 25 pesos (nearly half a US dollar) per half kilo, with its wonderful tart taste and medicinal properties (said to cure cancer), this is quite a steal!
I went home with several kilos.
