Visit A Market Oriental Bazaar Or Victoria Street Market.
You wish to roam streets that transport or teleport you to another place, another space in time? If so then a walk through the Victoria Street Market is the place to go....street stalls are rarely seen these days with the wide variety of chain stalls and malls to choose from. You'll feel like you've stepped into Disney’s Aladdin. It’s exciting. It’s alive. The hustling and bustling of people. The bartering for the best possible prices, the arb chit-chat and crazy unexpected pearls of wisdom given to you by the street vendors. The sense of community. The children playing in the street. The rich aroma of spices sweeping through the air and possibly inspiring a certain dish you wish to make for the evening.
The Victoria street market is like entering an oriental haven. Inian music chanting through the air, excited bargain hunters, the colourful stalls all around, the fishmarket, there are even curio outlets. [a favourite for tourists]. African craftsare available too, and a variety of them, woven baskets, beaded dolls and animals, intricately carved chairs, soapstone sculptures and that's not all.
Then there is the array of oriental ceramics, brassware, curry powders and spices. The upper level intensifies the eastern experience, more shoppers rushing for those gems of specialist African music recordings, loudly printed ethnic clothing and Chinese wholesale goods.
Make your way down there; pick up some jems and some fresh fish for a great night in. Who knows you might even make some new friends.
