| | Note: Other countries celebrate the Lunar New Yer too. Market Closed. DOH!! | |
| | | OK, they look like they know where they're going. Follow them to the market... | |
| | | Everything in this market was in baskets on the ground; except the meat. | |
|
| | Friendly beyond belief but I was squatting the whole time. | |
| | | All the women worked while the men all gambled. | |
| | | Probably my best, most "Viet Nam" shot. Hats, bike, baskets, life... perfect. | |
|
| | | Gettin' ready fer some action. | |
| |
| | OK, it's 6:30 a.m. now and thus, thre real action begins. | |
| | | And here you have a typical tienda. | |
| | | Dried fish, shellfish and everything else from the ocean. | |
|
| | "Yes, one pig's foot please." | |
| | | "Bird Flu?! Did someone say Bird flu?!" Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis?! | |
| | | Now to squid row... These ladies are enjoying my presence just a lil' too much. | |
|
| | Cleaning the fish to make famous Cha Ca or "fish burgers." | |
| | | Hey, with the size of that blade you ought to pay attention to the fish, not me. | |
| | | Careful where you step... | |
|
| | |
| | Ahhh... there we go, fresh Cha Ca for breakfast anyone?! | |
| | | This looks like a nice place for breakfast. | |
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | | What's the green cucumber-like thingies with bumps on them? | |
| | | These were the only live fowl I could find. Can you say "Bird Flu Initiatives?!" | |
|
| | This lady was stronger than a NHL hockey player. Wait, there are NO NHL players! | |
| | | Coconut lady cuts off the shell and saves the fruit and milk. | |
| |
| | | Does this lady have perfect Whitney Houston teeth or what?! | |
| | | Dragon fruit. Solid white with little black edible seeds; a Duncan favorite. | |
|
| | Stationary umbrellas provide much needed shade. | |
| | | 9:00 and the party is just about over... | |
| | | Now which way is my hotel?? | |
