Perhaps visiting Asia is one of the experiences
that lead you to take many transports.
-
In my case I had to arrive by plane
-
navigate rivers
-
board ships
-
travel by tuk tuk
-
climb vanpool
-
use the skytrain
-
board trains
-
and so on.
-
But here people are used to all kinds of
contact with the surface.
-
And as example, we will see the famous floating markets.
-
This floating market is an example of how
people buy while navigate, and the sellers
-
are also navigators. Among the tumult
and noise there is harmony, moving quietly
-
bringing food, spreading fragrances and shouting
offers.
-
An attractive spectacle for any foreigner.
-
In another scenario we have Maeklong Railway
Market with a popular curiosity.
-
It's literally over the train railways.
-
When the awaited moment comes close
the streets are closed and people flock to see
-
what happens. Everybody is waiting.
-
The eagerly seizes the public.
-
And sellers must retreat away some inches
to make room, remove umbrellas, remove
-
merchandise off the road.
-
... All expect attentive
-
and then it happens.
-
It seems dangerous, but the locals
has learned to manage it well.
-
Markets are perhaps places showing
very specific aspects of local culture. The
-
consumer objects, how to negotiate,
how to prepare food, the coexistence
-
and the daily exchange of goods and resources.
-
When traveling I recommend you to put the markets visit
on your list if you are interested to live the real experience
-
beyond the monuments and museums.
