There are some funky scents in the air here but it's to be expected... the variety here is amazing. I love trying something I can barely pronounce or read and i have had some good and not so good experiences doing this. But if you are looking to make a dish from your country or looking for those treats you could only find back home then I think this will be your best bet. This is the biggest International market with some of the most interesting varieties of randome food and household items.
