Jane and I ventured to the city market and the Sunday
market today. The two markets could not have been more different. The Sunday market
has mainly artwork such as bowls, masks, painting, jewelry, and wooden carvings.
This is where I had my first experience bartering and I wound up buying a
painting that I had no intention of buying. I learned my lesson though and I’ll
be ready next time! The city market is similar to the market in Solwezi but on steroids.
There are rows and rows of venders selling fish; dried fish, fresh fish, old
fish, smelly fish. Rows of people selling all kinds of meat and to be honest
most of the time I don’t even know what kind of meat it was and I was a little
afraid to ask. People selling shoes; a lot of left shoes, I am not so sure what
you do if you want a pair of shoes. People selling cosmetics, electronics, vegetables,
drinks, animals; you name it chances are you can find it there. I didn’t get
conned into buying anything at this market though.
