Markets always have an irresistible pull when I am abroad. The fresh produce market that is, I do not care for any clothing market or other junk. Meat, fish, vegetables and fruit: that is the kind of stuff I want to look at. But in a normal situation you’d walk across such a market, wonder about all the things on display but you wouldn’t necessarily try or buy anything. That for instance the mysterious bamboo packages you see in a lot of markets around Asia. Looks cute, but what the hell is inside?
