Old Country Market, Duncan, B.C.
We travelled to Duncan to visit Mark's first cousin who lives in a 100-year-old home in the countryside. Beautiful place. We always pass by the Old Country Market in the outskirt of Duncan. It's owned by the family of one of Mark's former colleagues from Deloitte & Touche. It's such a quaint place, very worthy of a stop when passing through. It has produce, dairy and cheese, deli, and other grocery items. Most produce and dairy are local. Here are some pics for sharing:
Shanghai Fabric Market
July 2010. This is one of the most colorful, fascinating places to go to. You can find tourists looking to recreate any designer outfit found in a magazine for cheap. You can find buyers from all over the world picking up fabrics for clothing manufacturing. Or you can buy something ready made.
Not knowing Mandarin and wanting to buy some fabric, I got to know a woman from NYC who was fluent in English/Mandarin. She was buying massive amounts of fabric for a famous designer (no, she didn't reveal who it was) and allowed me to piggy back onto her special discount since she was a regular customer.
Santa Monica Farmers Market
Here's one that we went to in Santa Monica in August 2010. It was a Farmers Market that was full of amazing tomatoes and other fresh produce grown in sunny California. Lots of tomato taste-testing along the way. The best tomatoes I've ever had. Unfortunately, limited pics for this one, we'll take better, more detailed pics at the next market.
Stay tuned. Paris Markets coming in August...
