I have tried to convey just the colours of the market in this video. I'm sorry I can't really convey the sounds and you will be glad in some cases that I can't convey the smells! In the next video we'll go people watching - interesting in itself.
We didn't really buy that much stuff even though it is all very cheap - but what we did buy, we had fun bargaining for. Chad is an excellent dealer - he knows when to walk away and invariably he will have them running after him to complete the sale. It is very hard to resist the beggars but as our man Chad pointed out - they could just as easy be selling some little thing if they really wanted to. They put on the saddest face, almost crying in some cases. It was best just not to look at them at all. The streets are blocked off on Saturday so there is just people everywhere - a lot of gringos of course cause this market is actually very famous. If ever you come to visit us - this place will be on the itinerary - so start saving now!

Fabulous - we are absolutely going there when we come over to visit! I hope you bought some of the art - looks like they are into ceramics in a big way - I liked the wall hangings and pics too! Well done Beth - you did manage to convey the sights and sounds very well!
Hi - just couldn't smell the smells! Everything else came through loud and clear! Looks like other gringos would enjoy that place too!
Bring it on I say....
Oh and sorry nearly forgot - hi to Alice :)
It's so interesting how every place develops it's own culture - including art and music. Very enjoyable video. :)
