When you visit a new place (once it's safe to do so), always check out the local market.

I sat down at a rickety plastic table, held in balance with one leg propped up by a stone. The coffee stall owner came over, held up two fingers in a victory sign and I nodded with a knowing smile.

I like to touch base with the local environment and local people and I believe the best place to learn the life and lifestyle of the locals is the wet market where you can see, smell, feel and eat their specialties and culinary preferences. But my best discovery there was the salmon fish heads. They were selling them for 50 pence a piece with plenty of meat still attached.

And so I went “marketing” happily with my wife pulling our own little trolley on weekends until one fine morning we met an elderly lady at the bus stand.“You mean going to the wet market?” she questioned, spying our little trolley.“No, that’s shopping and not marketing!” she corrected me, “marketing means doing sales and promotion.”
