Desk Clerk in Pension House:

Where are you and your friends going to today, sir?

Me:

Carbon Market.

Desk Clerk in Pension House:

Why?

Carbon market is always on the list of places for tourists but the locals would never tell people to go there. As it is the oldest market in Cebu think of 300 years of waste piled up in layers over each other, bad sidewalks, bumpy footpaths, tents held together with old twine, and people canstantly hawking their wares. Not pretty like the central market of Saigon nor the Chinatown market in District 7. Yet despite all of this, I have always found the market a fascinating place and all the friends I have taken there have found it that way too.
