    Henna for hand painting?

    Does anyone know where I can get some of the henna that is used for painting designs on your hands? I'm sure that I could get some in Chungking or Mirador mansions, but a more specific recommendation would be welcome.

    Cheers, Koren

    Koren,

    You should be able to get henna powder from the Indian grocery stores in Chung King. Indian provisions is located under the stairs right in front of the main entrance. Or you can contact Khubsoorat, the Indian salon and ask if they can prepare the mixture for you, you need to lemon and some other stuff. Usually you put them in cones so its easy to apply.

    Tel # for Khub.
