Umar and I went out to look for some material that could be used inside of some cloth huts we are making, to keep their shape. We started at some art supply stores in Anarkali, looking for xray paper. It turned out to be a very thin kind of film. That would not do, so we walked through packed lanes and made our way to Urdu Bazaar. There are shops with all kinds of cardboard and paper. We even found a thicker sort of xray paper, but in sheets too small for our needs. Asking around, we were lead to Lohari Gate. Down the street from it there are all kinds of shops with printed cardboard and film from packaging. There was lots of beer case cardboard, flat and unused as well as candy bar wrapper paper and all kinds of other product labels, unused and stacked. We walked down a lane that had all kinds of xray paper and found a shop that had rolls of it that we could purchase by the kilogram. So we figured out how many yards we needed and estimated based on that.I’m really glad that Umar was there. He had suggested that I go to Mayo hospital and just ask for it, but I insisted that he come and somehow Mayo hospital ended up being the one place we did not go. It is tough to track things down, I have no idea what the local terminology for a lot of things might be as people don’t go on descriptions. They need things worded exactly as they understand it, otherwise forget it. I’ve seen that elsewhere too. Besides that, we needed to make sure that whatever we picked up satisfied both of us, in terms of what we thought was needed.With a couple of kgs of xray paper, we returned.
