That sounds like fun. I really am not a "shopper" at heart, but finding
unusal items from around the world would be neat.
i am not a shopper either , however, i really enjoyed these markets because it was like crossing the fair with a flea market. The big difference for me being you ran into stuff you would never see in a flea market. You could also find any type of food vendor you can imagine. When walking around you were emerse in all these great smells. My favorite snack was french fries with satee' sauce. The satee' was a peanut butter concoction. Can you spell calories

One unique market that was popular in the Netherlands was the "swartz market" which mean black market. The local joke was that if it was stolen from you in Amsterdam this morning you can buy it back this afternoon at the Swartz market. This is not to say that it was a
market for stolen goods, although there were some. It was also a very
big mid-east market with many foods and durable goods from the mid east. It was almost like walking through a market in Beruit.
