Not far away from where I live, in the city of Beverwijk, there is every weekend a black market. This black market is called “De Bazaar”. I heard many nice things about and it was one the things that I wanted to visit.
Today the weather was not too bad and I had all afternoon to spare, so I took my bicycle and went to “De Bazaar”.
It was very busy, but not in a way that it was bothering me. There are a number of big halls filled with more or less small stores selling the most various things. Clothes, toys, gadgets, make-up, antiques (real or not), herbs, tea, coffee, mobile phones and a lot more.
There was an interesting mixture of scents caused by all the shop that were selling food from very different origins. But as I was not that hungry I skipped that challenge.
Part from some herbs and tea, I bought some rice bowls and chopsticks…
Why?
Every time I go out with Marion (and Sanne for that matter) for dinner and eat Chinese, Japanese or Indonesian food Marion eats with chopsticks and I as the barbarian am condemned to use fork and spoon :).
But above all, I think it fun to learn it.
Eating with chopsticks is fun.
There are many websites that are giving instruction about the use of chopsticks.
Try to use them with every meal you can. But as soon you notice it doesn’t go well, your food is about to get cold or your hand is getting tired… stop it and grab a fork.
It should stay fun. And as long it is fun, you are willing to practise with it.
See you later tonight 🙂
Cool. The Bazaar is fun. If only to watch the people of different origin. I like this. This is Multicultural Holland at it’s best.
