Omicho Market pics

I am finally posting some pics! In the last week I have been settling into life here and waiting for classes to begin. I haven't been outside of Kanazawa much, but have been visiting different sites within the city. My supervisor at school took me to Omicho Market one morning. Below are some pics. You will see that the food at the market looks very different from stuff at American markets.





Starting from the top, the first shows dried seaweed. The second is another type of seaweed. The third shows shrimp with their eggs. Some people think that pregnant shrimp taste better. The fourth is of various types of dried seafood. Don't ask me what they are because I have no idea.

I have too many market pics to post on my blog, so the rest will be posted to my Flickr site. I'll send out a link...
