I have to admit – I got a Thing for open air markets. They give you this specific feel, which varies in different parts of the world. While travelling across China – from Beijing to Guangzhou, and back to Beijing we visited a few markets. The one we found in Yangshuo – mostly thanks to Lonely Planet guide – called the Farmers Market was the most shocking. Same place, completely different reception. Let’s not reduce our karma this time, with that horrendous view, but just stick to veggies, and sellers sleeping alone, when nobody is looking… January 28th, 2010 | strobist
Still experimentig with flashlights. Slowly I need to start taking a closer look to some other than blue, green, CTO gels :) It might get boring soon. Photo strobist info here Early in the morning I drove to a street market in Tbilisi, first of all to buy some stuff for the dinner (actually that was somebody else duty), secondly to see “regular” Georgian folks at their work or simply daily activities. At the very entrance I ran across this elderly lady who was looking for the perfect chicken for Sunday lunch. I did not understand a word between the seller and the old woman. I could only imagine she ensures herself about the freshness of each bird, and with a lisping high pitched voice she says: I’ll take half of THIS one, my love. Boy helping his father sell some sea food in Quingping Market (the same one, where a lady was selling "peaceful eggs"), place known for it’s widely disapproved animal treatment. Besides that it was friendly, crowded and smelly. But hey… we ate a snake soup after visiting Quingping – Lady selling eggs (also the famous “1000 years old eggs”) in Quingping Market (Guangzhou), place known for it’s widely disapproved animal treatment. Besides that it was friendly, crowded and smelly. But hey… we ate a snake soup after visiting Quingping – some fish smell or chicken guts all over the place won’t disgust us nor brake the traveller spirit! |
