    Thanks for an enjoyable video. My favourite flea market which I'll be visiting again in a few weeks. I went there almost every weekend for 10 years when I lived in Tokyo. Every day I enjoy using and looking at the antiques and collectables I purchased. I took the bus which was close to my home and always arrived just after 8am. Even though it is much larger now with more clothing and toys I noticed many of my favourite vendors are still there. My favourite food van sells chicken and rice/potatoes. The owner is amazing as he speaks Arabic, Italian, English and Japanese.

    • @RalphSam
      @RalphSam  2 місяці тому

      That is so so cool to hear! Makes me wonder what it was like 10 years ago. And which sellers stuck around since then. Must have been amazing to get to visit so often. Safe travels for when you return soon! 🤍
