I think it's important to visit local grocers, markets, farms, and other operations whenever and wherever we travel to learn more about heritage and culture. While in Hong Kong, we took the kids to the Wan Chai Wet Market, where they got to see a lot of food stalls they wouldn't typically see back home.
We saw all sorts of seafoods, meats, animal parts, and more.
It was important to me to show the kids what people in other countries cook and eat, and to keep an open mind and not look at the foods negatively just because it's different from what we see, and they were all very intrigued by what they saw.
We thought it was really interesting to see such huge abalone and crabs, and all sorts of fish and seafoods that we don't see in Hawaii.
It was also neat to watch the stall owners cut up the meats and to see the various parts they sell - parts that are commonly discarded elsewhere.
It's always an educational adventure when visiting markets while we travel!
