On day 1 we also ventured into town to pick up some souvenirs. We went to the handicraft market and picked up some cool instruments for the kids, a drum and two others made from a coconut. We also bought a couple of things. The most interesting part came at the food market outside of the handicraft market. Here you could buy all kinds of dried seafood. Here is a picture of a set of shark fins for sale. Many of these were very expensive going for over 400 Ringgit (over $125 USD) per kilogram.
Next to this was an area where many folks were barbecuing all kinds of different seafood. There were long tables setup where folks could sit down and eat. Community dining at its finest. In case we get tired of the restaurants where we are staying, we have a great backup!

WOW - some of that looks pretty good. Did you go back to try anything? The servers looked very happy to have their pictures taken. Love to you all! Mom/Nanny/MIL
Oh - what would anyone do with a shark fin? Do they eat it?
