I experienced a store like that in San Pedro Sula, Mexico! The enormity of it overwhelmed me, but also delighted me with the "possibilities". I love reading your blog and read your book which was posted in the Mennonite Weekly Review- I believe it was "Upstairs the Peasants are Revolting"<br />Miriam Miller (cousin of Susan Hochstedler!)Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562929194287199776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-13475092442172862512012-06-11T06:55:11.371-07:002012-06-11T06:55:11.371-07:00Me one more time-- since I left that comment, I ra...Me one more time-- since I left that comment, I ran across the actual date of that construction mishap.

Mine probably won't wear as well as yours, though! :)<br /> The bagged "snakes".... Reminds me of a time in my teens when we went to a Korean store in Columbus. I was looking at these bags of noodles, when I realized that every "noodle" had a pair of eyes!! <br /> Are you running into Titus and Evie and her sister Naomi? We attended church with them for many years here in VA, but now we live an hour away from that community. -PC in VAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-48963530427551296312012-06-08T06:23:10.275-07:002012-06-08T06:23:10.275-07:00Oh my your descriptions are so good, I can almost ...Oh my your descriptions are so good, I can almost smell it. :-) Having lived in Chiang Mai for seven years (and now home for 1 and 1/2 years), reading all this makes me dreadfully homesick! I know all those fabric stores and the winding little allies with "snakes" (they are actually eels) and raw meat with flies buzzing, and all the market stands, and oh what I wouldn't give for a fresh cold mango/orange smoothie from the market, and then a good foot massage at one of those little hole in the wall places. Oh dear. Now I really miss Chiang Mai! I was a nanny with GTO. Blessings on your time there!

The picture where the fabric is hanging from the ceiling is the store where I bought the fabric for my wedding dress. 7 meters for 1,000 baht or around $20-$25. I miss that place so much. Thanks for bringing back those memories for me. <br />Natalie (Overholt) HelmuthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-38655430053454425892012-06-07T08:06:44.983-07:002012-06-07T08:06:44.983-07:00Wow I needed the fabric pictures to calm my nerves...Wow I needed the fabric pictures to calm my nerves after seeing the writhing mass of snakes then fried up yet!!O my I'am still trying to catch my breath,You are either a brave lady or need to be because your married to a visionary..in that case I can identify.
