One more shop

Here you have another shop in Goa, a wholesale trader and he got almost anything for sale.

The shop is in the small "town"of Cansaulim in south Goa in India.

And here you have the butcher in Cansaulim. A very happy one that show what you can get there.

Fotball and pineapple

More from Goa in India, I am in Cansaulim in these pictures. A small "town" in the south.

Here you have the big stadium of Cansaulim, a place where all the local Goans gather on weekends to watch a game of football, or soccer as you call it in USA.

And outside the stadium you can buy yourself a pineapple as a snack for the game. Or something else, like a cold coke, from this vendor.

Fish & Meat

Fishmarket and a butcher, here you have some other pictures from the little "town" of Cansaulim in Goa, India.

First one is a small fish market where some local women sell the fish that there husbands got during the early morning.

And then we have a local butcher, look at the head he has to sell....

Shoe-shopping in Thailand

I love shoes, not necessary this ones in the picture. But they where interesting to look at. Most of them had really high heels, and that is not for me.

The shoe store in the pic is from the big shopping centre in Patong, Jungceylon. And there you can find a lot of shops, not only with shoes.

Here is another pic from Jungceylon, in Patong in Phuket, and that is in Thailand. Here it is a late evening, open until 10 at night.
Here is another enrty about shoe shopping in Thailand:

Shopping in Tunisia

I know, this is just some of the things that you can buy while in Tunisia. But one thing you really find everywhere is carpets, the carpet vendors will not give up before they sold you a rug.

And then you can find tiles and other things in handpainted ceramics of all kind, like this "turisty" things.

Even if they are made just for turists, the mosaic work is sometimes really good.

And here is another carpet, up close.

Shopping in Turkey

I now bring you some other shopping idea's, this time from Turkey. Some years ago I did make a trip to Side, a tipical tourist town today, but with ancient roman ruins.

This is a shop where you can buy sweets and nuts, and a lot of other treats to eat.

And this is another shop with spices, like nutmeg - musgat - that you can see on the front to the right.

Napoli - amore mio

Naples is not only about mandolin music, clothes lines between the narrow lanes and local gangsters. Yes, the old folk song O Sole Mio still play in some of the bars, but here you can shop trendy clothes and going to cool clubs and eat well at one of the city's many taverns. Here you can see the most magnificent sights, ranging from churches filled with skulls of unique works from Pompeii and modern paintings.

When I visited the town for the very first time I was overthrown in love. Here was a crazy chaos and a friendly exuberance that affirmed my soul. It was in the 1970:s and the new Naples was probably still pretty far away. Crime was high, few tourists and traffic problems where tangible. It was difficult just to cross the street. People ran towards the direction of travel, no one stopped for a red light, they rather slowed in every time it turned green - because they could meet someone that was going on red ...

Today, almost 30 years later, a whole new city has emerged. Certainly there are old ramshackle buildings remain and still has not completely escaped a wild car. Though the traffic lights are a bit more respected today and the public transport works a lot better. Even if new problems have emerged, like the situation with the garbage.

So all this is actually a quieter city to holiday in than, say, Rome. If you just avoid the worst neighborhoods, as Forcella, during evening and night. And of course, normal safety precautions, like not carrying around everything you own and have in the case of jewels and money and then show it.

Yet the town does not, despite all the practical improvements, lost its own unique soul. Here you can still experience the good life. With all that entails of divine food, magical wonders, amazing shopping and lots of sun and sea. But best of all is still that there are interesting places to visit and unique art treasures to admire. Not to mention how beautiful it is just to look at. 

Most museums are open six days a week, Mondays exception.
I have naturally had to pick just a part of everything there is to look at. To have you once been bitten by Naples, I promise that you will return several times ...

More shop's in Mexico

Here is even more of these beautiful sink's that I found in Mexico, and Rivera Maya. This is just one more of the many shops in Playa del Carmen that sold sink's in hand painted ceramic.
Perfect in the bathroom or kitchen back home. Only problem is the transport.

And here is something else that you can find everywhere in Mexico. Lizards.

But these ones are made of wood.
