Meatballs and Som Tam


Yesterday I spent the night at Khon Kaen's "Walking Street Market". The city tries to keep the vendors unique and interesting. The end result is an usually un-Thai mix of vintage products and quirky handicrafts. Old steel company signs from the 50s met henna tattoos met...apparently, vintage handmade Italian shoes.

Check out my new shoes:

If you look closely you can see the Italian flag on the tongue.

The vendor I purchased these beauties from had rows upon rows of secondhand leather shoes, all from the Italian motherland. As they were all less than $15, I think all be returning here on a weekly basis.


Oh! And check this weird plant that popped up in the student garden. It looks like something from Mario Bros.
