sunday market

As I walked down a side soi last night to go to the market, I came upon a woman cooking something.  She was very intent and so I stood off to the side and snapped some shots of her.  All of a sudden she got into a conversation with the person behind her and started flailing her arms about.  She was very unaware of me and the camera so I just snapped a few shots of her exuberance.  I called this too many scooters but I think she was trying to say that she hopped someone did not come and set up in front of her.  I think she was a extra...ie. had not paid for a spot.

The Sunday market had many of the same people and I bought my Thai pants and two shirts from the same people.  The Hare Krishna now go banging through just before the King Anthem and they are full of energy.  It is interesting to watch people shop.  Many are very cautious
 On the top left was a Chinese woman who was buying a necklace.  It was about to cost her $5 and she spent a great deal of time deciding.  The next was actually on the way home.  I walked down a very dark Soi and there was a light.  When I looked in there was a man at a sewing machine working away on a project.  it was only 7:30 but it was market night and he was busy.
The next I call sad woman with blue glasses.  She should have red glasses.  She was the third wheel on the trip and she felt it and was stuck with it.  The other two wheels, just talked and talked but she was not in the mix and you can see that.
I was kind to the woman in the top right since you only see a third of her breast and non of her stomach.  Now that I am losing wt, I am so away of how many stomachs jiggle. (157 this am....12 to go)
On the bottom...I am am not sure what the woman in the kimono was about. She was with a man in an equal outfit and they looked like they were at a Samurai conference.. The light bulb over the woman with the stiff hair struck me.... she was definitely getting an idea about what to buy.
The last was a different kind of street person.   I think he is Thai but hard to say since he was tattooed and with a bone in his ear and the turban.   But he was definitely shopping for dishtowels....go figure.

 Wow, it is easy to slip into a similar pattern to what I had at home. I produced a plan to change many things - delete more emails, eat hea...
