One of the coolest bridges you will ever cross. Its small but its covered on both sides with gold and jewelry shops

Yeah but…don’t buy gold here cuz you will get ripped off price wise. These stores are strictly for tourists (i.e would you buy a watch in Times Square – if you answered “yes”, I have a nice piece of swampland that I’d like to sell you)

Well said. If you have the money there are decent gold and leather shops in the vicinity, but it’s hard to figure out which ones are the rip-offs and which aren’t.

It is a cool bridge, though,
