A few weeks ago a freind took me to the turkish market, held every Tuesday and Friday along the canal at Maybachufer. Ever since then I am in love with the atmosphere, especially in summer you crwal your way through masses of old turkish mamas, locals, tourists and just all those Berliners who do not need to work and can spend a whole day browsing through the fresh fruits and veggies. As did we, actually the first we bought so much fruit that we could not even eat it all and my went bad pretty soon. But, it was cheap and we had a marvellous picnic at a canal terrace with dried tomatoes, cream cheese, turkish bread and other goodies.
Usually, there are also bands playing and it is a wonderful crowd and is at the top of my Berlin to-dos.

And, almost equally good as food, they also sell fabric for a mere 2€ a meter! Yay! I stocked up on some dark blue cotton that would have cost me 15€/m in the fabric store. Sewing machine, here we go!
