My entry for #Marketfriday by my good friend 
Some people would say that spices are more valuable than gold because they have so many more uses. I just loved walking around in this market as it transported me back in time to a simpler way of doing things.
Although I am no expert of spices there were many here that I recognized from my many cooking exploits.
You enter the spice market via the main entrance into the Gold market and then you must take a sideways detour down the many little alleyways that lead to the spice market.
It feels like you are in an Indiana Jones movie as you delve deeper and deeper into the rabbit warren of the spice markets.
You find so many different spices that you have no clue what they are but they just look amazing. Then you see something that most under 30's have probably never seen in action. A set of old school scales.
The smell of the spices is intoxicating and you drift along in a kind of haze of fragrances.
As you venture deeper you find old school mortar and pestles for grinding your spices and not a electric blender/grinder in sight.
This spice market is a proper old school market where you can haggle for spices for prices and the house elf managed to get a great deal on some top quality saffron.
I didn't know that there are actually four grades of saffron? The most expensive is worth more than Gold!
As you wander through the spice market you will meet plenty of 'looky looky guys' trying to sell you a 100% fake Rolex etc and they are very polite and I didn't want to offend them so I told them.
"If you really want to make some money you should consider joining our steemit network!" and I then provided them with my business card lol. A great method that I learned from 
The weird thing was that they were very interested to learn more so I told them all about steemit. I can't stop promoting this fantastic platform. And I hope those guys eventually find me on steemit and we can have a good chat.
Even when on holiday I can't stop promoting steemit lol
What are your stories on promoting steem?
