I am a huge fan of traditional markets when they are available. The distribution of goods depends on the customs of the country, but, in some places, barter and trade work, or simply being a loyal customer will get you a better price. That is why the relationship is so important. Sometimes it is only better goods, but, that is a win to me!
The price of things is still going up there, it seems. Some of the things anyway. Do you find that it is the things that you use most driving those prices up? Or is it just the availability?
I am guessing you live in Bangladesh? The market is 1km away from the house. How do you get there? Do you walk or take transportation? Thank you for taking us to the market 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
I think there are several reasons behind this.
It has not rained on time this season. When the rainfall was high, the rain was not really needed. Due to drought and unexpected rains, the yield of pepper has not been good this year.
Because of this, pepper has to be imported from abroad. So the price of pepper is higher this time.
Yeah, I live in Bangladesh. We walked to the market. We took a motor van while returning home with those vegetables.
Thank you very much.
Thank you! That makes perfect sense now.
I appreciate you getting back to me on the questions. Have a great rest of the day!
