The Kurdish dairy

Right next to the wonderful Motel Mad is a small shop, the equivalent of the New Zealand dairy. There are some fundamental differences, the key one being that these small shops are generally cheaper than a supermarket, especially for fruit and vegetables which are also much fresher.

Nor is there are solitary sulky shopkeeping lurking behind a counter. Being cheaper they are also busier and in this shop there are at least three or four staff at any one time who are friendly and helpful. They even employ an older man who is not the full quid to do local deliveries.

Unusually this shop also sells a small selection of alcohol. Generally alcohol is sold in separate shops as many Muslims don't like shopping in stores where alcohol is sold. It is also a very good deal -
a litre bottle of decent whiskey for just $13!
