Day the Second

We went down to breakfast that morning as usual.
Next, we had an adventure of finding a shop called Raymond's.
For the first car ride to Raymond's, we took a hotel car. Our theorized destination was Nucleus Mall, but Dad was not communicating well with the cab driver. He thinks that the cab driver was trying to tell him that the shop wasn't there anymore, but as I said, they weren't communicating well. 
The driver was having trouble finding the place so Dad offered his phone for navigational purposes, but he refused. The driver called people for directions instead. 
We got to Nucleus mall and Raymond's wasn't on the directory map in the mall. Some people behind the counter told us there were shops on the sixth floor. We went up and didn't find Raymond's.
We stood on the stairs for a while and waited for an Uber to come. The driver was having trouble finding us and we were almost ready to give up and haul an auto, but Dad's phones showed he was coming toward us. We drove toward another mall.
Raymond's was nowhere to be found at that mall either so Dad called Darshan and we took an auto to his house. 
The auto driver would also not accept the phone and he asked random people on the street for directions.
We got there and one of Darshan's friends took us to an existing Raymond's rather than a hypothetical Raymond's and the real shop was rather tiny.
The suit salesman was a real showman and had a fine taste in suits.
Side note: We were getting material for a suit that was to be tailored because it costed about $10,000 dollars to get a suit tailored in the United States while in India, it costs the price of a regular suit would in the U.S.
We finally were done with the abundance of Raymond's and went to the first wedding event at Darshan's house where I got my first Henna, which would turn orange and then red the next day and talked with a nice lady and got a picture with me and her daughter. Here are some pictures from that night:
