Tonight (Wednesday) I will take the family with whom I stay and Gai/Mai and their children (the tuk-tuk family) to the night market. We'll eat, do some shopping and hangout. Gai/Mai have three children from first through sophomore in high school. The oldest and youngest are girls. The middle boy is technically not their child but his parents are drug addicts and abandoned him as a child and Gai/Mai took him in and are raising him as their own.
Night markets are a fascinating slice of Asian life. By day the space looks like a parking lot and by night there are food stalls, tables and chairs and booths selling every sort of merchandise. The Minneapolis Farmer's Market is just a bit like it.
