Open Air Market
After sleeping for a solid 6 hours last night, effectively eradicating jetlag, I woke up at 5 am in the morning to rainy day. Darn. I had hoped to go with my grandparents to the open air market to snap some interesting pictures. Since nobody who reads this could tell the difference, here are some pictures of the same place from a sunnier day two years ago:
Chinese watermelons are smaller and sweeter than American ones.According to the sign, they're selling at 80 cents per kilo.
Grain stand. I wanted very much to slyly stick my hand in one of them,
Grain stand. I wanted very much to slyly stick my hand in one of them, a la manniere d'Amelie Poulain.
Fresh meat... tasty!
Zippers? The open air market also have people who sell odds and ends.The blue was rather striking.
I took this picture because I liked the juxtaposition of themeat and the vegetables right next to each other.
Tofu.They almost look like cheese except that there is no cheese in China.
A vegetable vendor.
Frogs! poor frogs...
In the foreground is an old style Chinese house.In the background are some skyscrapers.
I could say something symbolic and profound here,
but I'll leave that to the reader.
