I’m not sure where the fish come from, but just outside the office is a fish market – and the fish look fresh.
We drive past the market about a third of the time, depending on the way we drive to work. I went past it on the first day – and it was pretty pungent. I really had to concentrate on other things (and look away) in order to not leave stains on my shirt – never a good look first day as you walk into the office.
I recently found the fish market disappears by about 9am – it turns into a motorbike parking lot. Sort of makes sense, as the fish aren’t stored on ice – by 9am you won’t be getting fresh fish.
The other day my colleague and I got taken to lunch outside the office compound – walking straight past where the fish market is. Being lunchtime bikes were all parked up – but there was plenty of pungent evidence of the true nature of the area – including mid road pools of very smelly water.
Fish anyone?

Hello BIJ,
Thats the advantage of getting up early you see a whole different world. There are markets that happen all over the world before most people even get out of bed. I wonder if you get up early what you would find at home open. Although knowing you I wonder if you see things when you get home after a late night sometimes. The photo’s are great
