so far, it has been..... mmm, 80% shopping and 20% sightseeing.

and another addition to my list of 'american terms' collected on my every trip here:
"Excuse me, where can I get a trolley?", I asked a shop assistant the other day.
She looked at me, confused... "What?", she replied.
"A trolley, where can I get one?", I said.
Her face was more confused.
"A trolley", I repeated .... and this time pointed to one being pushed by a mexican-looking mum along the aisle.
"You mean, a cart?", she replied.
"Oh yes, a cart, sorry", I said. :)
'trolley' is what they called their tram / light rail system.
