market. You can find markets anywhere in the world. Here are four of them:
There are many "floating markets" in Asia; perhaps the most unusual is in Thailand, at a place called
Dannoen Saduak. It"s open from six in the morning to the noon every day. People sell fresh fruit from
their boats.
Many Belgians say that the Grand Place is the most beautiful square in the world. It is the home of a
colorful flower market. It"s open every day except Monday. On Monday, instead of flowers, there"s a
wonderful bird market!
One of the world"s most famous markets is in Mexico City the Sonora Market. You can buy toys,
