About every few kilometers there is a market like this. Some are huge, some are small, but in every city and every village there is some kind of open air market selling just about everything imaginable. Sometimes it feels like there is a flea market on every other block. Check out the video below which just shows a quick little clip of the veggie market.
Also, I have started seeing a few urban camels and elephants now. I think in the next few days I might see the dancing sloth bears too. In the tourist areas the animal tamers come around and make these animals do tricks for cash. I am not sure how I feel about the use of an endangered species to make a profit. Kinda gives me a bad feeling you know, like collecting or buying ivory. It just contributes to the species' decline.
You'll also probably see Monkey on a stick and the dancing cobra in the basket. I'm with you, I didn't much care for it, part of me understands that everyone has to figure out a way to earn a living, but I couldn't stand seeing the animals being exploited.
