If you haven't traveled around in this part of the world (the parts of it that Western imperialism hasn't all fucked up all to hell since this photo was taken), it's almost impossible to overstate how awesome this aspect of it is.
Old men drive little ornamented carts around that play music and sell soup. The soup is the best fuckin thing you've ever tasted. When you take the ferry, people walk around selling bread snacks that are also the best fuckin thing you've ever tasted, and the ferry riders break off bits of them and throw them up to seagulls that follow the ferries around, and the gulls dive trying to catch the bread in the air before it falls into the water. There's cats everywhere. If you're lost and befuddled, people will try to help you out. There's big rocks you can jump down from and swim around in the bay. You don't have to buy a ticket, there's no lifeguard and no little booth with a teenager making $12/hr you have to interact with to get inside the attraction. It's just rocks and water, and you can spend the whole afternoon there if you want.
There are bad things too but in my opinion it's fuckin great.
