Floating markets of Bangkok (not pictured, the 3,682 snacks we tried just milling about)

Joining my mum at the ‘laiki’, the Greek version of a wet market, was often the highlight of my week as a child, getting to pick the flowers she bought and observing which tomatoes she deemed good enough to pick up for ‘gemista’. Perhaps it’s what draws me to markets as an adult, welcoming the onslaught of sights and smells, making sense of a place the best way I know how: peeking into people’s shopping bags, admiring the neatly stacked rows of fruit and sussing out the best snacks.
