Kimchi fried rice? That sounds fascinating! I have never had it or actually heard of it. It looks rather good though! If you didn't go out for lunch, it had to be pouring rain! But, you recovered enough later in the day to go to the Korean stall. Your wife had fried chicken from there, do you know what kind of spice they use on that? I am curious to know, it will help me know what it tastes like.

The Passport Office didn't tell you that you cannot wear glasses for the Passport picture? If they accept glasses, they will have people wearing all sorts that will hide facial features, making it more difficult for the officers. This was an easy way of avoiding that issue. How many years is it good for this time around? Mine is good for 10 years.

Thanks so much for taking us along with you!!

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday
