la feria

I went to a market with Ary this morning, where they sell absolutely everything. The food section was incredible, so much fruit and veg that is full of flavour and cheap. 1kilo of strawberries for £1, and they were the yummiest I'd ever had. Avocados are a local produce and are 50p per kilo. Mad.

Bought a cool t-shirt with illustrations of animals on the front, and found Plato's Republic in EspaƱol:


The book behind it has the coolest cover in the world (see my facebook profile picture).
Also found a few old SLRs, one Olympus OM2 that was being sold for 70,000 pesos, which is £100. By far the most expensive thing at the market for sure.

Definitely going back.

Top book, The Republic. The allegory of the cave gets referenced in Scorcese's Shutter Island. Aristotle's Poetics is a must as well as it lays out the foundations of the whole of Western drama. There's also a modern expansion of it in Theatre Of The Oppressed by Augusto Boal, who is a Brazilian theatre practitioner. It's not as heavy as the title suggests!
