The Marketplace/Mitchell's Plain

We went to The Marketplace this morning and
this is part of what we saw.  People were selling
things like stockings, hair bows, shoes, food, and any other kind of goods that a person would look for in Walmart. We have stores where you do one stop shopping, here you have to go to 3 or 4 stores to get everything that you would need. Seriously, if you want plastic ware you have to go to a plastic ware store. (Back to the market) It was packed with people doing their Saturday morning shopping, the fish that you see above looks like a Spanish Mackerel but it isn't and I cannot spell nor pronounce it's name so we'll just call it a fish.  The smell was not so pleasant but once you got past that there were some really cool items to buy.  I bought two scarves for 40 rand which is 4 American dollars, so not too bad at all.  I'll post pictures of them tomorrow, they are locked in my car and I am too lazy to go out and get them. So...I had a pretty good day, scored two scarves and ate curry.  Not a bad day at all.
