Night Market Mayhem

So the other night Noah and I walked out of our apartments and bumped right into the Antsawin night market. This is an outdoor street market that happens every night since it's too hot during the afternoon. Strings of lights illuminate the rows and rows of vendors selling all sorts of fresh food, clothes, shoes, accesories. The smells are very overwhelming. Our dinner consisted of blueberry and chocolate Thai crepes, fresh pineapple on a stick, Indian roti with condensed millk, corn-on-the-cob and bubble tea. And we didn't get sick at all! As we were exploring, there was a sudden downpour. The market pretty much broke out into hysteria as the vendors hurried to close up shop. Of course, we hadn't brought an umbrella and we were slightly lost so we ended up running through the rain, singing and laughing. The Thais must have thought we were crazy but it was such an exhiliarating experience. I felt like I was in a movie.
