That was a fun market! I am so glad you brought us. Such a nice variety of produce! I liked the apples and oranges, but they are all really good! I like that you took us through the entire market and you explained all the pictures and what we were looking at. I will say that you should omit the blurry pictures as they take away from such a nice post. I understand that you were in a rush and people do that to me, but, it would be better to have none of that section. No worries, you had plenty of great shots~

I think you did really well putting it all together and I want to thank you. I love that you carry the memories of your grandfather within you. I appreciate you joining the challenge.

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through by their markets, especially local markets and farmers markets and eventually branching out and evolving 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 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.
