Rzasnik Market

This is the market in my local village Rzasnik. As mentioned in the previous post, markets are quite popular in Poland and most sizeable villages and towns will have at least one market a week. As with the Russian Market the Wonderbra to Wing mirror rule applies here too, but in rural areas there would be more wing mirror than Wonderbra! Naturally, the rural markets are more focussed on rural life with farmers buying and selling produce, and a good selection of farm equipment and tools on display. Other stalls include a butcher, clothes, a baker or two, and a stall selling degergents, toiletries etc. To view more photos click here http://www.flickr.com/photos/52486002@N00/sets/72157594549799395/detail/

p.s. I don't have a fetish for markets...seriously!

No Income Tax, No V-A-T...

The Russian Market, held around the perimeter of a disused football stadium about 10 minutes from the centre of Warsaw, is the biggest outdoor market in Europe. Here you can buy anything from a Wonderbra to a wing mirror and everything in between, just don't ask for a receipt! Polish people seem to like their markets and last Sunday morning this place was ticking over nicely, with plenty of bargains being sought and offered. There are plenty of Del Boy types hanging around and a lot of the traders seem to be immigrants. Well worth a visit. Click here for more photoshttp://flickr.com/photos/52486002@N00
