Local Market

We visited the local, weekly under cover market, just behind the main bus station here, and what a laugh. Chaotic lunacy is the order of the day, with stall holders promising you the earth and then letting you have a dodgy copy of it.

All manner of knock off gear (most of such good quality it puts the real deal to shame) and at some stupid prices. Mostly clothing, footwear and bags, it had pretty much anything you could wish for. I saw the latest Germany football shirt (they had every country and every major league club throughout the world) and I asked how much.

From wanting YTL 45.00, I had him pleading to sell me one for YTL 15.00 in the end, and he was throwing in his wife into the bargain. I'd have been tempted too, as she was a bit of a looker, but wifey was in attendance.

A wonderful way to fill in an hour or so and we'll be back next week to really haggle with them. I really fancy a pair of knuckle dusters...
