Wet Market

Got up this morning and walked to the wet market a block away from Madam Cuc's 127 Hotel where we stayed. Love wet markets which is where people go to buy groceries for the day: fish, fruit, veggies, everything.

I really enjoy the smells and sounds of all of these goings on. One woman sells live fish which she summarily kills before she weighs for the customer. Another woman chases the eel that escaped her tub and slithers across the floor. Another person sells Durian, which I really really hate. In other places in the market people eat, talk, drink tea, etc.

Right this minute I'm in an internet place with some of the troops waiting to leave for the airport. Loud group, really loud.
