Browse Markets
When I go somewhere I always find out when and where there is a market. I love to browse markets. The market gives a sense of life and gives me a little insight into the city and its people. There are small markets with only fruit, fish and cheese stalls and there are large markets such as Arnhem, Amsterdam and Utrecht where I can spend hours looking around.
Weekly Markets VS Yuppy Markets
Weekly Markets VS Yuppy Markets
There are weekly markets or what I call yuppy markets which are markets with food and handmade items. These are usually expensive markets, but fun to browse. Both types of markets attract different types of people. The weekly market people come for the daily groceries and at the yuppy markets people come as a day out. The yuppy markets often also have music and eateries where I can sit by a fire in the winter.

Abroad, I usually buy fruit and snacks from the market to taste and eat. At the larger farmers markets abroad I will often also find live animals that are negotiated. This is a very nice spectacle to watch, those negotiations. In addition, in the South American markets people also walk in traditional clothing from the surrounding villages.

Sometimes I am lucky and a local or a stall seller wants to explain to me which costumes comes from which village.

Insiders’ Information To Feast On
Unfortunately, the weekly market in Eindhoven is less exciting. A few vegetables, fruit, nuts, fabrics, fish, and cheese stalls and That's it. The six months that I lived in Arnhem, I was spoiled with the big market practically at my door with everything and everything. That was worth a weekly outing. Sometimes just to watch and sometimes for that one bargain.

The market are open again in The Netherlands and I love to go through the market on my hikes and buy some food, before continuing my journey. The same way I do when traveling abroad, actually.
