Shopping at the night market

avatar

Hello friends! How are you all, I hope you are all well. On this occasion I will share some pictures that I took when I spent my weekend shopping at the night market.

I visited one of the night markets in my area, tonight the conditions at the night market were not as crowded as usual at night, for some reason maybe because the weather was drizzling so the visitors were a little quiet. I often shop at places like this, because apart from the cheap price, parking the vehicle is very convenient, we don't even need to get out of our vehicle, because the seller's position is right beside the road. We can see various kinds of goods, traditional food, modern food, children's toys, on the side of the road. Some of the pictures below we can see the lights of the traders are very bright.

The first place I stopped was a row of fruit sellers, because the fruit in my house was starting to run out. Here I will buy some fresh fruit. I bought 3 pineapples at a price of 45 thousand, for pineapples it is not calculated from the weight but what to do. I also bought 2 kilo grams of oranges at a price of 20 thousand rupiah, and the last fruit I bought was avocado, because people in my house really like avocado juice, for the price of avocado sold at 15 thousand / kg, I bought 3 kg of avocado at a price 45 thousand.

Right across the street from a fruit seller, I saw a perfume seller with various fragrance variants.
The perfumes sold here are classed in such a way that we cannot regulate the alcohol for one perfume bottle, so we as buyers can only choose the scent we like and the size of the bottle. The smallest bottle is sold for 20 thousand rupiah, the medium bottle is sold for 45 thousand rupiah and the largest bottle is sold for 80 thousand rupiah. The perfumes that are sold are not branded perfumes but ordinary products.

The risk of bringing nephews to the night market we can't just pass by toy sellers. Here my cousin asked for a balloon with a light in it, for one balloon is sold for 35 thousand.

My goal tonight is to sell clothes, because many of my buyers choose to stand behind the first buyers. After the buyers finished I just chose some clothes and pants. For one t-shirt here, it is sold at a price of 80 thousand, I bought several t-shirts that I think are good and suitable for me to wear. It doesn't feel complete if you only buy clothes, I also bought 3 jeans with different prices, for the general price they range from 150 to 250 thousand.

After all my goals were bought tonight, I was a little weak because before leaving I didn't have breakfast, so before going home I stopped at one of the meatball noodle sellers who was not far from another seller. For one serving of jumbo meatballs, the price is 35 thousand, for children it is priced at 15 thousand. In this shop, I spent 100 thousand for the two of us, because apart from ordering meatballs, you also ordered 2 packs of crackers and 2 glasses of cold tea.

Sounds like an expensive night!! :) It was really hard to see the market at night, it really is dark there! I am surprised they don't have spotlights so that the area is illuminated better. They might even sell a little bit more if it wasn't too dark Of course, it probably is lit better than I can see.

Did you get that balloon for your cousin? :))

#MarketFriday has 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, even your language/languages that separate us... 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 can only hope this to be true.

Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:


Rules of the Road to Join #MarketFriday!

Markets like this rarely use and highlight, maybe this has become a tradition of night market sellers, they rely more on lighting from the sellers in that way, the market looks more beautiful with the decorative lights they use

I'm sorry I didn't understand rule number 7 before, but after I read it carefully I finally understood. I will do it in my post next week
