Market Day

Some pictures from an international market in front of the Kulturhuset in T-Centralen.

Bet you can't guess what country was represented by these waffles?

Want candy!


The Spikeheads took pleasure in sausages and especially in the massive cloud of pork-smoke that blew right into the Italian's coffee and gelato tent.

This Syrian guy had the most delicious olives ever, until I discovered that the big green ones weren't stuffed with pimentos but some Arabian death-peppers.

I promise to feed it and take it for a walk every day.
