Fresh food every day! (warning: dog meat)

The market is so wonderful. It is in the "alley" behind the apartment building. There is really about 6 alleys that make up the major part of it, and smaller offsprings from that. There is just so much to see and buy here. Plenty of fresh fruit, veggies, fish, seafood, and meat. Anything you could possibly want. There is also lots of shoe and clothing stores. Not that any of it would fit us.

On the weekends the market is very busy and crowded. But I went yesterday and it was just a few people. Very laid back and easy to walk through. The pictures I was able to take really say more than I could. The fish is one of the most amazing things. There are humongous fish in little buckets just flapping around. There are large tanks containing live octopus, squid, more fish, and eels. Only once so far I saw some dog meat. It is pishon here. We are learning the symbol for it so we don't ever make the mistake of ordering it.

We already have our regular places to buy in the market. There is a nice little supermarket for frozen goods, detergents, etc. There is a shop that I have gone to several times already. It has almost anything you could want for the kitchen or bathroom. Even bowls and cups and toilet seats!! It is so stuffed with things that you can barely walk down the aisles. Everything is much cheaper there.

As I was walking through the market yesterday, I came across a little llasa apso dog. It was wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and it's tail was many different colors. Obviously a very spoiled little dog. Not the first or the last spoiled dog that I came across yesterday. Several tiny dogs in girl's arms or in bike baskets. Cute little mutts.

Along the same lines as shopping, on Sunday we went to Sung-ton. It is the town that was built up around the Air Base. Mainly for foreigners. We got the most softest blanket in the whole world, as well as the cheap dvds there. Tim got us on base. We had some American food for dinner and hung out with him in the dorms. This probably bad, but I now know that Cheesecake Factory cheesecake is available to me for 4 american dollars. Mmmm.....

Speaking of food, that will have to be it's own post too.
