The foodstall area of Snake Alley. I don't particularly recommend the soya sauce chicken here, it looked yummy on the cart but was a bit like chewing the sole of the hiking shoes I never bought.
As usual, the main market street was nothing compared the adventures that lie hidden in the narrow alleys sprouting out of it. One seven eleven I walked past had an exit at the back out to one of these alleys. It looked really dark and interesting, kind of like the magical closet in the Narnia books.
Coming out of the seven eleven on the other side, this is the sight that greeted you. Another world behind the facade...
I was hoping to pick up some sturdy shoes in case I would get up to some hiking while I’m here. However, I realized that I don’t understand anything about shoes and experimenting with hiking shoes in notorious nightmarkets is probably not a very clever thing to do. I remember hiking through the jungles of Kuching national park and one of my shoes literally falling into pieces.
