When I travel , it ’ s clear to me a meal is so much more than food . It ’ s a full sensory experience of aromas , flavors , customs , people and a candid immersion into a local community . Night markets in particular , are a powerful cultural primer , packed not only with things to eat and drink , but also with the human stories you crave when you travel . Often located in the historic hub of a city , night markets can range from 10 to 200 + vendors and come alive with after-dark atmosphere , exposing you to a community ’ s cuisine , music , art and culture in a way that ’ s powerful and real . Consider enlightening yourself with these five unique night market choices .
