I loved this market! Who doesn't love a sale? Especially if this will subsidize your goods? I know the rents are steep in the market booths. It is one of those things they know people must have, so there will be people who pay the high rents, even if it cuts their profits. They just pass it on to the consumer. I have often wondered why the government doesn't subsidize farmers so they can sell at a cheaper price, making food affordable for everyone.

I am glad they allow for these markets to exist. Not everyone makes the same wage, people are out of work or people have a large family. Food is expensive. Not two ways about it. In all honesty, I am sure this market isn't as nice as your regular one, but, I don't find it terrible and I think I would shop there too. I was amazed at the difference in prices and am very grateful that this is available so that people do not have to go without basic necessities. I was wondering if you are homeless, where do you keep your food that it won't spoil or get eaten by bugs or animals?

Thank you so much for presenting this market to #MarketFriday! It was a very well-written post. I love the concept of #MarketFriday and how our cultures differ and then again, how much they are alike. Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages. Along with the fact of what is normal for where you live? These 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 had hoped that posting here will familiarize you with the world around you just a little bit more. Viewing it from a more personal level as opposed to the newsworthy level gives me a better understanding of the people and a view that is often not seen on television. Sometimes, it seems like I learn more on some social media about a certain incident than what the news tells me.

I appreciate the amazing support given to #MarketFriday! Thank you! Your participation adds a piece of your world, and I have to say, people are interested in seeing it. This entire challenge has opened up the world to me and so many others. Thank you again for being a part of all this! I am so happy to see you here! I hope you have a fabulous day! Hive on!!
