5. Witch’s Market, Bolivia
Feeling like you could use some good luck? Get yourself a dried llama fetus, which is said to bring not only good fortune but also prosperity. I hear what you’re saying “but where do I get one?”, easy – the Witches’ Market in Bolivia. That place is packed full with all kinds of talismans, charms, dried creatures and a whole butt-load of funky ingredients you do not want to see in your soup. Aside from snakes, their venom, aphrodisiac potions, common and rare herbs, folk remedies and countless other items you can also consult real Bolivian witches about your future, if you’re brave enough. Good luck!
6. Ka Firushi Bird market, Kabul, Afghanistan
Do you like birds? If you do, you simply have to go to Kabul to witness an amazing gathering of bird enthusiasts – the Ka Firushi bird market. Older people sell magnificent songbirds like canaries, nightingales and budgerigars mostly for profit, while teens and adults see it as more of a fun hobby. The market is situated in a quiet part of the city where no car can fit through, so you will be able to fully enjoy the birds tweeting their songs.
