Cotton Candy? Peanuts?

So are you a cotton candy fan? I thought this was pretty cool. The guy has a machine making cotton candy on the back of his bike! He's selling right near a park and despite nobody buying at this point he was keeping busy.

Also if you look to the right you see two guys standing with their shirts pulled up. Well this is common because of the humidity. You always see guys walking around this way. The women are almost always using an umbrella regardless of the weather. They use them in the rain and in the sun. It's considered not good if you have color in your skin. That would mean you are a worker working outdoors which is equated with a lower social status. I guess right now based on the sun I got this weekend I fall into that lower status!



Your other option is some dry roasted peanuts on this cart. The owner is actually weighing them out on a small portable scale here...

Would I try these? Yes. There are plenty of other street foods that I would highly avoid - fruit being one (because of the water) and meat (because you have NO clue what it is, how many flies have been on it, how many people have touched it, etc). But still the street vendors are worth checking out!
