Great shots. The pic where everyone is inside - is that a huge food court of sorts?

It's the market hall. Individual producers rent a regular stand where they sell their goods. Most usually small-scale artisans selling their meat, fish, cheese, pastries, souvenirs, sushi, pizza and whatnot. Some have established local brands. It's one of the few places here where you can for example buy horse meat, which is actually tastier than beef, but most people have a moral barrier to consume it. I don't. And you have to be an individual producer and 100% organic, or you will be denied access! The price range is from very affordable to "too expensive for me".

Ok, a few more,

This is a city where you bike:


Or walk:


And listen:


And there's always a pub, bar or café nearby to enjoy the like the 10 days of summer we get . It was 88F when I took these pictures. Now it hasn't gone below 80F highs in 11 days and counting, so more summer for us:

Can buy horse meat in my local S-market Only mincemeat though. No moral barrier for me to overcome to eat it either and I rather enjoyed telling my kid she was eating a horsey

This is what one of the favorite areas of my town looked like last night.

Ha! In your face, Natsku junior! No but seriously, I asked one of the butchers, and he said that horse meat is not a bestseller, because people are weary of buying it on moral grounds. It's a bit stupid, remember the reindeer meat fury in England last year? People eating poor Rudolph, which is regularly consumed here. On the other hand, rabbit is a bit of an taboo as well, and I won't eat it either, as I just can't eat anything that I've had as a pet. So I'm not innocent in this case either.

Nice car, is it new? I'm really bad at cars and haven't even sat behind the wheel in 2014, but I see it's a Mazda. Had an old 626 at some point.

Yes, there's a lot of blonde eye candy here, but usually I try to be quite discreet when taking pictures, taking pictures of sunbathing women sounds a bit dirty.

My car is a 2012 Mazda 3 skyactiv touring. It gives 36 mpg (15.3 kpl) highway and 30 mpg (12.75 kpl) city. Easy to park in congested setting, and has GREAT TR + acceleration (which is what I need). Max speed is 128.3 mph (202 kmph). Its also enabled with a Bluetooth and sunroof. I got it in a "All for just $16,999 (12699 Euros)" offer .

She didn't care, she's not squeamish at all. First fish she caught she touched it and said it felt like food

I like rabbit, tastes rather good. I think I'd probably try any meat really, its the odd body parts that I have trouble with, doubt I'll ever try eyeballs or anything like that!
