This is where we normally go on almost all our zaterdag (saturdays) - a market in Geleen.
Geleen is our neighbouring town and is just a good 6 mins drive (including finding a parking spot) from our home.
We get our fresh supplies of vis, fruit, bloemen (fish, fruits, flowers) and do our asian groceries at the toko. its a nice market with many grocers, selling their products, nice smell when you pass the fruit and flower section.
We do however prefer to get all our vegetables and most fruits at the supermarkets where we feel the quality is much better. but the markt (market) is certainly a treat! i look forward to elke zaterdag (every saturdays). why?
1. my dear husband does not need to go to the office
2. i can wake up slightly late if my dear husband feeds our son his breakfast
3. i can go to the market and get my flowers and shop at the toko
4. i can cook the things i bought at the market
This was what we bought recently:
3 boxes of aardbeien (strawberries) for just 3euros! (will write on what i did to them at my other blog soon)
3 bunches of tulpen (tulips) for just 3euros! (if you come at 4pm, an hour before they closes.)
I LOVE MY SATURDAYS!

Hi Zaza. I'm a Malay married to a Dutch and we live in Geleen. I think I tried to email you a few months ago - would be nice to get to know you as there are so few of us Malays here in this region. I'm doing some research for my blog and I hope to get your input on it. Hope to hear from you if you're interested.
