it’s a 13 hour flight but im still grouchy and jetlagged regardless of which class i fly.
the markets in paris are more or less like the urban farmers markets back in the US. they just open few times a week, and in certain areas. but the produce is amazing. something in the soil in france..
the biggest different between a market in the west and markets in hk is we slaughter live fish and poultry to order. pork, beef, and eggs are displayed out in the open, with no refrigeration. all this freaked me out at first, but im no longer bothered by it. but the hk markets exist in every neighborhood, and open everyday, for long hours. the ones in europe are usually concentrated in one main place, and they close early.
