When nobody is looking

Description

I have to admit - I got a Thing for open air markets. They give you this specific feel, which varies in different parts of the world. While travelling across China - from Beijing to Guangzhou, and back to Beijing we visited a few markets. The one we found in Yangshuo - mostly thanks to LonelyPlanet guide - called the Farmers Market was the most shocking.
If the entrance served a calming view of colourful veggies, the smell announced many dark secrets. You probably saw the most terrifying one some time ago, when I posted Dogs at the Farmers Market in Yangshuo.

Same place, completely different reception.

Let's not reduce our karma this time, with that horrendous view, but just stick to veggies, and sellers sleeping alone, when nobody is looking...

wow.. a completely different world the the walmarts and commercial grocery stores. Looking at this makes me feel a whimsical fancy about what it might be like, but being reminded of your other piece about the dogs sheds the light of reality on my fantasy of charming open aired markets. Still, though, I can't help but want to go shop at a place like this. anything to get away from the plastic-sealed, well-lit, detached world of industrial grocery stores.
