Budapest's "Wet" Market
Who has been to a wet market in Malaysia?
Slimy, stinky, fishy, with bits of ground in offal and produce on the floor. Meat with flies swarming, oppressive, humid muggy places housed in square, squat buildings of utilitarian value.
Contrast this with the Great Market Hall or Central Market Hall of Budapest, Hungary otherwise known as Nagy Vásárcsarnok.
Beautiful, well planned, and sectioned into various different sections, you had gorgeous sausages, luscious fruit, and a lavish spread of different types of snacks and street food.

If we had markets like these here, I'd go just to inhale all the lovely smells and sights, if not for shopping. Heck, I'd get a kitchen just to have an excuse to try out some of them goods and goodies... :D
