Cerritos
Went to Cerritos with Mom and my roommate's family yesterday. Cerritos is basically Bombay transplanted into America, minus the cows, auto rikshaws, and BO (though it is still detectable).They even have movie theaters specifically dedicated to Bollywood, so of course we hit that up for 3 hours, after a ridiculous lunch.
We also went to this upscale jeweler called Bhindi Jewelers, one of the more famous Indian jewelry stores in the country (I'm sure they have many locations in all the big Indian hotspots - Jersey, Houston, etc.). We walk back to the watches to have a gander, and they're selling $40,000 Rolexes. Shady twentysomething overweight Indian sales dude with goatee (the kind who probably gets his jollies on the weekends by starting fights with Punjabi dudes at Indian parties) approaches us while we're gawking at the prices and mentions that a watch is a better investment than a house right now. "You buy this watch now, turn around and make several G's on it in a week." "Really?" I say. "Yeah, just put an ad in the newspaper and within six months you'll have made $10,000." Yep, because Jay Z be readin the LA Times classifieds every day just HOPING to find that $40,000 Rolex that he'll pay you a 25% premium on. But only if you take it in unmarked hundos. Idiot.
