The Local Market

The local market near Elizabeth's place is a lot like the Pike Place Market in Seattle - smaller because it is actually more a local market than a tourist attraction - but just as jam packed with everything you can imagine from flip flops to clothing, to pots and pans and food of all varieties.
The culinary delights are hard to cover: barbecued chicken and pork, sticky rice, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit sliced to order by women who wield large knives and manage, incredibly, not to lose their fingers as they gut a pineapple just for you.
You can buy fish - smoked, fried, or still swimming.

I have also heard that the sticky rice, mango and coconut milk treat is to die for. I didn't spot it yesterday because I wasn't sure what I was looking for. I'll head back in search of it later today.

I am loving the daily journal entry. The food talk makes my mouth water and I am thrilled to see what fun you are having and what incredible sights, sounds, tastes and experinces you have been a part of. What in the world will you do when you come back to boring Seattle?
