Markets are a backpackers best and worst nightmare; a chance to pick up cheap goods to replace ruined clothing or for souvenirs but also a place to realise how much stuff you would absolutely love to purchase and take home but realistically and practically speaking you just absolutely cannot. It happened all through Europe and it’s happening again. Everything that is not disgustingly touristy that I want to purchase is breakable or too heavy to carry around for another 2 months. I’ve already got a souvenir bag going which I plan to post as soon as I leave Cambodia (they have a very unreliable and expensive postal system). These tea pots and Buddha statues are just a few of the things I’m lusting over.
