Every Sunday there's a huge market that's set up outside with vendors selling pretty much everything--food, clothing, shoes, toys, gifts, household items, etc. Last Sunday I went with my friend, Lia. The market opens around 5:30am and is open through the afternoon. We left for the market at 5:30am and I am so glad we did!! It was pretty quiet when we got there and easy to walk through, but as we were leaving at 7:30am, it was packed!! I had a lot of fun seeing what is there to buy, trying new foods there and getting to interact with the vendors. I even attempted to bargain on a pair of sunglasses I bought, just to see if I could do it(we've been learning how to bargain in class). When I asked the price the vendor said 20,000 RP(which is only $2.50). It was so cheap, but I still wanted to just try so I said, "Wah, mahal ya??(Expensive, ya?), to which Lia said, "ummm no actually that's pretty typical." haha well I guess my first attempt to bargain was a flop, but I'm sure I'll have more opportunities.

| There are so many of these tents set up with different vendors at each one. It probably goes on for about 1/2 mile. |

| Smile Lia! We sat down and I tried her favorite breakfast...bubur ayam(chicken porridge) |
 |
| Our first stop...fresh orange juice! We made friends with Yenny, the vendor, and her husband. They were so nice! |
