2 . Street markets around the world

Do you want to buy a new pair of sunglasses? The latest CD? Or something for dinner this evening? Nowadays, you can shop by telephone or through your home computer; but for many people, the most exciting way to shop is also the most traditional — at a street market. You can find markets anywhere in the world — here are five of them:

Every weekend, thousands of young people from all over London travel to Camden Market in an attractive area in the north of the city — it’s the place to go for street fashion, CDs, and tapes. But many people just go for the lively atmosphere!

There are many “floating markets” in Asia; perhaps the most famous is in Thailand, at a place called “Damnoen Saduak”, 100 km from the capital city, Bangkok. From six in the morning to the midday, every day, people sell fresh fruit and vegetables from their boats.

The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul , Turkey, is more than 500 years old and it has more than four thousand shops under one roof! The most popular items for tourists are the beautiful carpets. It’s open all day every day.

Many Belgians say that La Grand Place — in the center of the capital city, Brussels — is the most beautiful square in the world. It is the home of a colorful flower market — open every day except Monday. On Monday, instead of flowers, there’s a wonderful bird market!

One of the world’s most unusual markets is in Mexico City: at the Sonora Market. As well as toys, you can buy herbs and natural medicines which (they say) can help with anything — from problems at work to problems with your marriages! It’s open every day from early in the morning till late at night.
