Street markets and food

Every day there is the 'morning market' and the 'night market'. The morning market seems to offer more in the way of fruits, vegetables, breads and fish. The market Tim and Shauna goes to is inside a large, square open spaced building. Catering more so to the local resident needs. The night market is set up each evening (and subsequently taken down each late night) along the streetside and seems more focused on the tourist trade. T-shirts, Batik, and collectables you'd also see at stores in the shopping district of town, but higher prices. Also pirated DVD's, CD's, video games. These you ALWAYS have to question the quality. We saw video games branded as 'PlayBox'...not PlayStation or X-Box. Does it work in both?? : ) At the night market, price negotiation is a must. As you walk away from the table, lower prices are being called out to you. And of course, you are always 'first customer' and offered 'special price'. You know you're not, and so does the vendor. It got to be humorous.

Counting her Ringot.....about 3.2 to the U.S. dollar.
Popular, tasty and CHEAP dining at the food stalls. Kind of an outdoor food court, a little rougher looking than we're used to, but variety is wide and food is good. We could put together a meal from various vendors for about $4U.S. each. Spring rolls from one vendor, fried rice from another, and Chinese pancakes w/banana and chocolate from another. We were there around 6:15. Just warming up. When we came back from shopping around 8:00, it was packed.
Note the open air. Actually a 'retractable roof'. Two guys would push open or pull closed as needed.
Sizzling beef and chicken at one of the more favorite places. Beef was ordered 'hot' and Kaleb and Gene had no problems breathing clearly afterwards!
