Bucket list: food markets
Rotterdamm/Helsinki

I don't really like to go grocerie shopping in a supermaket, because it is not adventurous, it is often not super fresh and you can't ask anybody about the products. For me - and I'm sure for everyone else out there - it is super fun to go to a market square or a market hall where you get fresh products and also in such a variety. It smells good and it is just a more intense experience to go shopping. You can ask the vendors about the products and you get more connected to them. There is also more of an appreciation for the food than in a supermaket. I read about these two market places. The new market hall in Rotterdam and about Finland's oldest market hall which re-opened for business this summer.
So clearly it has to be on my bucket list!

I.
Rotterdamm (Netherlands)

The opening of the new market hall was on 1. October 2014. There are a lot of vendors, delicatessen, restaurants and apparently a culinary school.
