6. Somewhere in China.
The characters in the top right corner are Chinese and they're selling a lot of Chinese produce (bamboo shoots, bitter melon, etc.)

13. That was my guess as well but I was hoping someone could confirm it.
Amazing video wherever it was taken.

10. and flat.
You can get used to anything.

I wonder how many times the train comes.

The people look like they know what they are doing.

9. I think the vegetable market aspect misses the point
the real question is: why, in a country the size of China, do they build housing that close to railroad tracks? Bizarro!

14. It's the Maeklong Market in Thailand. I've seen the video before but it....

...never gets old, or less-stressful to watch. How could it? Amazing, amazing video. I've seen dodgy setups before but I don't think there will ever be anything as dodgy as that place.

You can see LOTS more pictures doing a Google image search for that name.
