RE: Market Friday : A walk in outdoor market.

I love picking my own fruits and vegetables, I know it is easier on the fruit and the seller if they pre weigh them. Artichokes are such a good deal! They must be in season! I never bought freshly squeezed olive oil in Greece! Next time.

You have brought us to such a wonderful place, lovely to look at. It is scary to see how some of these products have gone up in recent weeks. You hit the nail on the head with prices and everything that goes on in the market! Thank you!

Thank you for being part of #MarketFriday! I am honored.

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and 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, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that 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.
