Brick Lane, Spitafields and Sunday Market

Living in East London, I tend to go to Brick Lane quite a lot. I once told a girl in my class about going there and she said 'Brick Lane? Isn't that the really poor place in East London?' Completely offended by what she was implying, I am going to write about it. Spitafields is another market right next to Brick Lane, and on Sundays there is the Sunday Market. Today I went to their and the atmosphere is really nice. People are very friendly and you can try samples of food, and there are loads of things you can buy for a bargain. The things people sell are amazing, and you can always haggle!
Or if your bored you can play carroms! Carrom, is  a game originated from Asia where you basically have loads of little discs (the size of coins) and you have to push them in a hole. You use one disc to hit another one, so you can move the ones in the hole. The best disc is worth five points, and is red, and I got it in the hole! We didn't finish our game because I had to get home and have loads of neglected homework (which I still have not done!). There free to play and there are even seats. The maximum player on one board is four, but there is also chess. The guy in the picture is Raj, he helped me learn the game, and is also probably the best Carroms player in the UK.

These animal purses are so CUTE! But there are just SO many things you can buy! If I bought everything I wanted, the stalls would be empty! Anyway, in the food market, I went to the Mexican Pancake co., and had the peanut and sweetcorn pancake. It was so good, even though it is such a weird combination! I tried a sample and it tasted delicious, though I didn't know what was in it! When we ordered it, we found out abut the sweetcorn. It was great, but I think to much sauce so you couldn't taste the pancake as much, but that aside it was perfect. The two staff were really nice, and you could see them making the pancakes. My 5 year old sister (once she found out it was peanut and sweetcorn), went to the another pancake stall and bought the more traditional crepe. You can also buy some lovely paintings. My brother bought one for £20 by M. Salkins of Canada in Autumn, with trees, and a river, and mountains.
