Street market

This is the local street market that we tend to go to on thursday nights,  As you can see there are many people that fill the streets entering small little shops with many homemade items for people to buy.

Most of the meat at the market is served on a stick.  You can have your choice of pork, chicken, beef, and octopus on a stick.  Octopus is small and they just barbeque it the way it is and let the tentacles just hang right off the stick.  Very unique in flavor and taste.  It was hard to get me to try it the first time but has a chewy taste that many people think and consider to be a great delicacy. 

These are some of the signs that you have at the market and I just found them to be funny to see how they are presented. As you can see each item is usually 1.00 to get some type of food item.  

I really liked this sign!  Each person for only $5 dollars a person can get 6 choose.  In the culture that we live in most people who learned english find shortened or different ways to get ideas across to one another.   It is sad to say but I will talk like this sometimes because most of my students will talk like this because their english isn't fully polished yet.


The Street market is a very enjoyable place to go if you want to view different ethnic displays of food and culture.  Each week their are different cultural dances and presentations of singing that you can view while sitting at the market.  It is very interesting to see the different foods that these cultures enjoy and delight in.
