There's the fresh fruit, the vendors hawking their goods, just-picked flowers, exquisite wholesale fabrics and more. The blog, Eyeflare attempts to narrow the worldwide marketplace down to nine of the best. See if you agree. 1. Bologna food markets, Italy 2. Patpong night market, Bangkok 3. Sarojini Nagar market, New Delhi 4. Central Market, Phnom Penh, Cambodia 5. Durbar Square market, Kathmandu, Nepal 6. Pisac market, Cusco, Peru 7. Sonoma Farmers' Market, California 8. Borough Market, London 9. Sonora Witchcraft market, Mexico City What's your favourite market? Me, I quite enjoy almost any market, but I think my favourite is Kensington Market, in Toronto. It's full of artist types, hipsters and wannabes, if you're ever in the area, definitely check it out, it's just next door to Chinatown. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara
