The Market Place

At the market place, they have tons of different foods laid out on the street. As you can see, just behind Jared are plates of fish. When you buy food at the market place, you can't buy just one fish, especially if they are grouped together. They give you whatever is on the plate.


They sell LOTS of seafood, any where from sea urchins, crab legs, to frogs!!!!


Here are some more sea delights.

This is usually the scene wherever we go. The fawn over the kids, pull them close, and then touch their hair. This Korean woman was rapidly talking in Korean to Ariana, when Ariana looks up at me with a huge smile, and asks, "What is she saying?" Her guess was just as good as mine!

Emmalee is very shy towards most people, and she usually begs for us to rescue her. Here, Ariana, decided to help her sister.


They sell many different types of vegetables and lay them out. This particular market place went on for over 2 miles, and during our entire walk, only found one stand that sold any sweets. We found a couple more stands that sell fruits. Most sell vegetables, nuts, and fish.



Another picture we saw over and over again are families working together. Her they are peeling the leaves off a head of lettuce, and then pile them up to sell them.

Vanessa, I love these pictures! I especially love the one with Emmalee in front of all of those vegetables. It looks like everyone is so nice there and that you guys are having such a good time.

I'm glad you're sharing your experiences with us on your blog. These pictures are so neat. All of that fresh produce is probably so delicious! (I could do without the seafood, though, although it is interesting to see!). Your girls are so cute!
