what better way to spend a saturday night than a trip to night market...
first of all, i'm really trying not to be racist (seriously), but why pick an area where there is no parking except tight-ass stalls and street parallel parking? now we all know what the dominant race at night market is, so you think the organizers could find a spot with a giant parking lot where the bad driving wouldn't really matter. the car circus is easily seen as soon as you get off the knight street bridge. although it can be hella funny at times, it does get pretty stressful being in the middle of real-life bumper cars.
once you've found a parking spot (5km's away), you have to battle through a sea of people. as soon as we got in the market, it was like being on the shinjuku line at rush hour. that's right, private part touching included! no joke ask eugene, when we were leaving, i turned around to say something to euge and this little maybe 4yr old kid sticks his hand out as he walked passed me and touched my thing! it was so random!!!
it never ceases to amaze me how people can just sell loads and loads of absolute crap. who thinks, "damn, i should buy all this crap (in asia) and make money selling it at night market!"??? if the prices for all this shit are so cheap, does that mean they give this stuff away where it comes from? 100cd spindle for 30 bucks? 6 pairs of socks for 10 bucks? cartoon print flip-flops for 4 bucks? how much does this stuff actually cost?
one of the never fail pluses for night market is the food section. where else can you get such a variety of asian "tapas" at such bargain basement prices? (shout out to the flips selling bbq and lumpia)
but no matter how much trash i talk about the zoo that is night market, there are times when you just happen to find a "diamond in the rough." 2 bones for my newest toy!!!
this electric fly swatter is going to be useful at home and at bbq's exploding unwanted bugs, but most importantly, it'll be the provider of hours and hours of drunken fun (in the form of electrocution). 2AA batteries give a pretty good jolt.
time to sleep.
