Translation of raging in German

After breakfast we visited one of the largest markets in the country. It was very close to the hotel and we were tempted to buy souvernirs and other stuff that we would never use ever again.
So was the food. We ate French fries and a steak. We found that bizarre. After dinner we bought some books about the area and about South East Asia in general. They we second hand books.
Dinner was nothing special in this town and the restaurant wasn't either. Most waiters and the owner himself were more interested in Chile's qualifying soccer game than in their guests.
