'A good neighbor is better than a faraway friend' is a Dutch saying which sadly is not always respected in the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam. Luckily, good food brings people together, and the smells of this new exotic food market lured the locals out of their homes. People from different ages and backgrounds shared the large dinner table at the market, curious as they were about the exquisite bites - and about eachother. (Photo: Nouska du Saar)
