When we finally got there, the taxi driver kept taking us to tourist shops, we could not believe our eyes. This place belongs on fith Ave. in NY, it is huge. The main problem we had was they have almost too much jewelry to select from. We were aprehensive as we did not see prices, but they showed us that all the gold had it's weight written on the tag and they sold it by the gram, so that was cool. The sales people were not too pushy and very helpful. The prices were less than half of what we saw in other stores!This was our second time and we were just as pleased. We found out if we came alone, without a taxi or guide they would give us an additional 10% discount. They set us straight on why the taxi...
