To Market, to Market

Woke up early this morning.
Decide to follow Mom to the market.
We had breakfast at the food centre adjacent to it.
I had a hearty appetite today!
Had Nasi Lemak, then you-cha-kue (fried fritters) with soybean.
Not ate so full for a long time.
Then off we went to buy veggies & fish, etc from the market.
Its been such a long time that I've gone to a wet market. Nowadays it looks very different from the wet markets of the old days.
Not as smelly... and not as wet.
The old ones used to be wet & dirty.
(God forbid that you should ever slip & fall)
In the old days, as a child I remember they actually keep their chickens there.
You pick & choose the one you want and it will be freshly slaughtered & de-feathered right in front of you.... Yikes.
