At the Flea Market

 In one of the tents they were selling these dolls. They that writing on the back of the head under the hair that indicated they were at least 15 to 20 years old and had been owned by an American.
 In addition to all the dry goods, some of the booths were selling food, mostly vegetables and pickles  plus some dried fish.
 The man inside the booth has a karaage bento, fried chicken boxed lunch, stand near our apartment. They are extremely good. The woman is my wife who is buying our lunch from him. The man with the guitar is singing a song about Nakagawa Tacos. A group of the restaurants in our town are having a taco campaign. Each restaurant has added tacos to their menu but they are different, and not very Mexican, at each place. The song sounds like something from Mexico but the words are in Japanese singing the praise of the tacos in Nakagawa.
 While he was singing, this man dressed as a Mexican showed and danced.
 These are the food stands. Notice on the large sign that two of the things have fried eggs on top. Japanese boxed lunches often include an egg in some form or other.
At the stand with the large sign we bought this. It is a couple of large slices of pork with chopped green onions. The red is a kind of preserved ginger and under it all is a layer of rice. It was quite good but would have been better if it had been hot.
