A market of so many different colours

This market was a very special experience. We saved up all our desires to shop for souvenirs for taking home to buy them here... That's one thing I can tell you: just buy them whenever you see something because the stuff they sell here is no more special than the stuff at all the other places around.

But it is a great experience as the market is very lively, very colourful and very crowded!
