Coming through the market through the extremely narrow space with people and market stalls squished millimeters from the train. That’s crazy. Wow. It was wild being on the train going through the market. Squished between the market and the train. Next, I will walk in the market. Then, I will find my own space, squished as the train goes millimeters from my nose and my body. It’s terrifying and exciting at the same time. My heart rate was up. [Music] It’s really close. Then watch the market go back to normal. I had a 5:30 a.m. pick up from my hotel on this day tour. It’s an early start. Picking up a few others along the way.
