Around town

Here are some random photos from around our town. Thought you might enjoy seeing the mix of modern and more traditional ways of living all in one little town! Our home is in a small apartment complex seated near the back gate of our town. The town consists of one main road (less than a mile long) with housing and shops on both sides. The town is funded by the factory here. Almost everyone that lives here has some sort of job at tehe factory. Everyone knows everyone and they definitely know us!

Here is the market where I buy my fruits and veggies. it's about a 10 minute walk from the house.

cute little guy in the marketThis is some sort of noodle station. (not sure exactly) it's in our market and I think you pick the stuff you want to go in your bowl of noodles. I thought it was colorful.this guy is the cook at our favorite little restuarant. Well, you might call it a stall. it is open air and he cooks all day at the opening of his little stall. I tried to take his pic and when he saw me he got really excited and said "hold on" and turned his hat sideways. now he was ready for photo op! They really seem to like us there and their food is delicious.

The track where EG and I do a lap every morning on our walk.

some kind of green leafy veggie being dried on the gate to the track...
Get your chickens...Actually I can't bear to buy my chickens this way. I buy mine in litte styrofoam containers at a grocery store in town (you know the meat that doesn't resemble an animal anymore)
Sugar cane and oranges for sell outside the track

checking out the flowers that were recently planted on the main street of our town.
this is the main road. I am about a 4 minute walk from my apartment (which is at the back gate of the town) and the building in front of the big hill in this pic are at the front gate. so, you can see our town is quite small

EG's favorite time of day. Going on a puppy hunt
