Find Nika Here: Chichicastenango

Last weekend most people went to San Pedro, but I wasn´t feeling that great so I stayed home, and instead we went to ¨Chichi¨ on Sunday for the day. Chichi is supposed to be the best market in central america. We set off at 10 am and didn´´t arrive until 2 pm becausae we decided to take the local way of transport.. we first took a boat, then a pick up truck, 3 busses, and finally a van. It took a long time but was super cheap. On the way back we decided to splurge and take one van, which ended up costing us about 70 Quetzalas each (about 10 bucks.. really expensive I know!).
The market was great though and it was fun to see all the different products and stuff for sale. The one annoying part, which is everywhere is Guatemala, is that you are constantly surrounded by little kids and old women trying to sell you things. They come up to you as soon as you get off the boat and wont leave you alone. It is kind of sad, but you have to really ignore them or else they wont leave you alone. But it´s just part of the culture here, and you get used to it eventually.
