Byensori

Byensori, literally meaning "General Store" in Mirselec, is a neighbourhood in Isana, situated on the west of Gardaus Bay near its mouth. This neighbourhood is a well-known centre of malls in Isana, and one of its famous shopping zones; its goods are mostly oriented towards the youth in recent years.

Site and Situation

Byensori is just one of the several large "neighbourhoods" along the West Bay, along with other neighbourhoods like Taiberduya, Degurunalmi, Hazatole and Dasnimoya. While certain areas are widely considered to lie within Byensori, the fact that it is more an informal neighbourhood than an actual district, make it hard to define where exactly the bounds of Byensori are, and where it mixes into the other shopping districts along the West Bay.

The main road of the area is Independence Road, along or near which most of the larger malls are situated; yet the most distinctive feature of Byensori is not the large malls but the wild maze of narrow streets that branch out from the main roads, the remnants of the old markets for which the whole area was named. Along these narrow streets, many of which are closed to traffic and therefore only accessible by foot, small stores abound, offering merchandise from household tools to replica and sometimes authentic antique weaponry, though in Byensori the streets are most famous as snack stalls and restaurants.
