I always enjoy going to the small grocery stores, street markets, and
large supermarkets when visiting a country for the first time. I think
it is interesting to see what considered 'usual foods.' A market can
tell me a lot about the local culture, the mind-set of the people there,
as well as teach me about local foods.
