Market Ladies

Crowded little stalls of soap and shampoo, coffee and ginseng.  Flower stands, fruit stands, tea stands and incense everywhere. Women sitting on top of long steel counters hacking huge pieces of meat.
My favorite is by far my vegetable ladies - Long and Dung.  We banter in sign language and laughs with a few Vietnamese words thrown in.  I get a huge bag of cucumbers, lettuce, broccoli, limes, dill, cilantro, onions, garlic and chilis.for ten dollars ... and they always throw in more ... always something extra.  This has definitely become one of my favorite things to do.
