Wriggling insects, odd-shaped baskets, dried sheets of riverweed... The markets in Laos are full of everyday items that seem strange to visitors. Sonesulilaat has photographed and described 101 of these items, ranging from foods to tools and household items. A walk through the market will be far more interesting for a visitor who has this fascinating guide.
