Exploring the local market
Another important lesson I learned from Tony B. is that you should always start your exploration of a new place at the local market. So many people in this region come to this market every day to sell their hard work. This is their life daily and there is so much to gain from the experience of seeing how they go about their business with each other. Stay out of the way and just watch... then you can taste a few things and bargain till you are satisfied.
