Bake Sale?

I stumbled across this group of women cooking and selling their goods in an Istanbul neighborhood. I'm calling it a bake sale, since I don't quite know what else to call it. I loved that it felt both familiar - something I'd see in my small home town, and get unique and different (sitting on the floor, the mats, the long sleeves and scarves.)

The more I travel, the more convinced I am that people across the world are more similar than they are different and that those differences are what makes the world a better place.

I mean, this collection of balloons including Hello Kitty and SpongeBob - could be taken from any place on earth. What similarities surprise you the most when you travel?

I imagine your observation is very true. It's been years since I traveled out of the country (except to Canada), so the differences I see are mostly regional and apply to landscape and food preferences.

did you try anything out? I imagine the smells must have been wonderful. And I'm chuckling over the balloons.
