Going to the market is always a fun way to spend a morning or afternoon. This is were you find the best selection of vegetables and fruit and beans and nuts and clothes and shoes and anything else you may desire. The produce is from local farmers and is always fresh. The larger towns have the best variety of produce where the smaller villages are lacking and you may find only onions and tomatoes. Spices, such as ground chili powder, ground ginger powder, curry powder, turmeric, whole ginger, garlic and chilies are also available and inexpensive.
