The pigeon market.
This is from our trip to Melbourne (pronounced "melban"). We were at Victoria Market, which is a a big open market where you can buy everything form vegetables to clothes to tools and everything in between. It is very famous here. Edith was happy because it is just like the markets in Romania.
At the market you could actually buy pigeons. Judging from the price, they aren't a huge seller. What would you use them for? When I was there, a group of teenagers bought them just to let them go. I figure that is a good money making scheme. Pay the local kids to run around and catch the city pigeons. Then sell them to naive tourists and teenagers to set free. And then, have the kids go out again and bring the pigeons back. I bet there's a metaphor for life in there somewhere.
