City Market


Tom and I took the bus from Marathalli into town. The first time we'd done so. You just hail every bus that comes past and ask if it goes to the the central bus stand. We got off somewhere in the city and walked to the city market following the signs and our noses. Pictures follow.
We didn't see any other westerners all day but strangely the people in the market either 1. ignored us and did not stare as I expected, 2. were very friendly and just asked "hello, where you from". Tom's standard response was "Australia, you know 'MCG!'". While the scene was confronting and crowded, it was actually more pleasant then being in MG Road or the tourist areas.
Here are the vegetable sellers outside the market building.
