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.
