There&#8217;s not much that&#8217;s haphazard, and a lot of virtuoso arrangement goes into setup (indeed, photographing the process of setup would be a wonderful challenge). The two markets we visited, one daily (Adapazar\u0131) and the other weekly (Sapanca), were a delicious introduction to vast complexities, and all I managed to do was collect a tiny fragment of the rich variety. It takes me a long time to become comfortable enough to really <i>see<\/i> what&#8217;s around me, and I regret that I hurried through both markets and didn&#8217;t do much to communicate with the sellers &#8211;most of whom were professionally friendly and entirely willing to talk to even a tongue-tied and clueless foreigner. I could ask the polite question (Foto\u011fraf\u0131n\u0131z\u0131 \u00e7ekebilir miyim?) but not much more.
