“The scars of war are till very visible in both the buildings and the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I was in Mostar, a town only a scenic two-hour drive from the capital, Sarajevo. The town is surrounded by lush countryside with a picturesque river flowing through its heart. While otherwise idyllic, the natural beauty of this area is offset by the buildings riddles with bullet holes.”
(from Lost with Louie: Bosnia and Herzegovina in all its raw beauty).

Bullet holes still riddle homes and buildings throughout the country.

“Ancient Japan’s spirituality was in reverence with nature mysticism, where the forces of nature were seen as spirits…and this evolved into a religion called Shinto. Nature was the heart of their spirituality and culture. Even their shrines and temples were placed according to its natural landforms. ” (from Enoshima, A Sacred Site – Moonswoon ).

Public Market, is a famous farmer market and tourist attraction in down town Seattle. TV stations often come to the market to make travel shows about Seattle. When we were there, Canadian CTV station was filming about “throw and catch salmon” show, so there was a big crowd at the fish market. For local people, Public Market is a fun place to go, watch street artist performances, buy fresh produces and enjoy good world food on the weekend.
Please click the picture gallery for the Slideshow.
Seattle Public Market, chợ trời nổi danh tại down town của Seattle là nơi thu hút du khách. Chợ luôn có các đài TV đến phỏng vấn khách đi chợ hoặc chủ của cửa hàng. Hôm mình đi, có tụi đài CTV của Canada tới quay gian hàng thảy cá đây là chổ tập trung đông người, vì những người làm ở đây luôn biểu diển thảy cá salmon cho người khác bắt lấy. Rất vui và nhộn nhịp ở nơi nầy.
“Chợ trời giá cũng trên trời!” Chợ nầy rất vui, nhưng cái gì cũng đắt hết, nhưng được cái là rất tươi. Cứ nghĩ chợ trời thì thường rẻ nhiều hơn trong siêu thị, nên thấy số 2 thì chụp lẹ để được tha hồ mà ăn. Nhìn bảng giá cho đậu que xem, giá hơn 6 dollas cho gần nửa kg, trong khi ở siêu thị thì chỉ khoảng 2 dollas thôi. Đúng là “chợ trời giá cũng trên trời!”
