It's kind of ugly. <BR/><BR/>In the actual trading area there's nothing to see ... just men in suits, Jewish, Indian and others and one gets the impression they wouldn't be amused by a camera following their every move. <BR/><BR/>We saw one serious security guard standing guard, and perhaps one briefcase handcuffed to a wrist, then a lot of grey block buildings without any redeeming features ... secure not pretty.<BR/><BR/>We missed out the diamond museum because the day was too nice to be inside ...
