Our place is at 10, Teretta Bazar Street. If you know the area, you know it is always full of life and noise. Teretta Bazar has its own rhythm. We have been here for a long time, watching the morning markets and the people passing by. Our shop isn't very large, but we make use of every inch of space we have. There are things stacked on shelves and under tables. We do our work right here in the middle of it all. It’s not the kind of place where you’ll find air conditioning or soft chairs. It’s a working shop. We deal with whatever comes our way. Sometimes it’s quiet and we can hear the street sounds clearly, other times it’s so loud we can hardly hear ourselves think. We like being part of this neighborhood. There is a lot of history in these old streets. Most of the people around here know us by name. We don't spend money on advertising or fancy things. We just open up in the morning and stay until the work is done. If you need to find us, just walk down the street and look for number ten. We are usually there, tinkering with something or checking our stock. It’s a simple life and a simple business. We don't need much more than that to keep going. We just do our best with what we have each day.
