A Trip to the Market

We had a nice little visit to this market in a small town in the country. Our guide had mentioned a drink that they sell known as "Hangover Juice". Though I had not been drunk the night before, I thought it would be neat to have a glass for my own cultural experience. The hangover juice was made by smashing stalks of sugar cane and squeezing out the small amounts of liquid. The result was a green, chalky liquid that altogether tasted nothing like sugar and reeked havoc on my system for days. Ah, but no regrets, ‘tis a voyage of discovery.
