Street life around the world

Street markets are centres for shopping and business deals, and great for people-watching. Almost every place in
the world has one. However, there are some that stand out as being world class. Let Travel Today be your guide …

Hong Kong
Hong Kong has many amazing and unusual street markets. The street market around Upper Lascar Row is very
popular with visitors to China. One particular stall is popular with locals – it’s run by a man called Uncle Szeto. He
sells all sorts of things at his stall: old family photographs, vintage postcards and posters.

Kowloon market is the place to go if you want to eat food from south-east Asia as Kowloon is the neighbourhood
where most people from that region of the world live.
At the Apliu Street market, which specializes in electronics, you can buy nearly new and vintage cameras at a stall
run by a Chinese man called Ng Wai. He also sells lots of second-hand camera parts.

Marrakech
Marrakech has some of the most amazing souks in the world. These markets are a major part of life in Morocco.
Shoppers can buy Moroccan crafts, traditional leather sandals, food or clothes. It’s an exciting experience with lots
of colours, sounds and smells. Beautiful carpets and rugs are sold in the markets and it’s a pleasure to browse the
carpet shops. When you step inside a carpet seller’s shop, you will be treated to mint tea and long conversations.
The wool carpets are hand woven and are famous for their intricate designs and bright colours. Shoppers are
advised to bargain with sellers to get the best prices. It’s easy to get lost in the markets because they have many
different pathways and sections, so it’s a good idea to go with a guide.

Berlin
Some of Germany’s best shopping can be found in Berlin’s numerous flea markets. They sell everything from
vintage clothes to antique furniture. There are some great bargains to be had. You can buy second-hand items and
also new art and design objects, including handmade clothes by new German designers.

Flowmarkt has a reputation for being very fashionable. You can buy both second-hand and new products, and there
are lots of places to sit, eat and enjoy the atmosphere. The market is also an informal music festival and shoppers
can listen to music while they eat.
