Fresh Fruit & Produce
Near the hotel, I came across a block long market that contained everything you could (and couldn't) imagine.  All kinds of produce, clothing, canned and boxed food, shoes, live chickens, fish, frogs, meat of unknown origin (some of it looked like dog).  The product stand on the left is at one entrance.

I wandered to the nearby lake where I found these colorful flowers.

An island in the lake is home to a temple.  These images are of the entry gate and access bridge.

Not sure what this means - maybe no crooked horn playing?  Surely, it does not mean no honking (even though the sign is in front of a hospital).  The only time that I have not heard any vehicle horns blaring is at 3 AM.
