RE: Everything's For Sale, If You Can Find It

in Worldmappin11 months ago

I have never been to an American mall that had fighting over merchandise. Which one did you go to?

That is a rather unusual arrangement, isn't it? The geographically separated markets like that? I am more used to them continuing through the downtown area. You might not find it being 1km away! Poor potato guy! I wonder if he is too expensive? Or nobody likes potatoes. It happens to be one of my favorite foods. :) I do hope he gets enough business to break even with his expenses. Perhaps he would do better if he set up a stand? There has to be a reason that we are not clearly seeing.

We the prices expensive? We the clothing prices expensive? Thank you for taking us along with you!

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday

Thanks for the visit and comment! 🤗

Ahahha, that's probably something I picked up watching CSI, NCSI and stuff like that! 😆

Yes, very unusual, it was the first time I saw it.

We the prices expensive? We the clothing prices expensive?

No, not really. In these street markets stuff is usually a lot cheaper than in stores.

Thank you! That sounds like quite the deal then~
