The town gets busy – children are off to school, people go to work, the markets are now open.

Most of the salesmen work on their own or in a couple. Men and women carry heavy loads on their backs to the market, where they set up their stands. It takes them a couple of hours to do all the hard work, but their day had just began.

During the day some locals walk around and get some food and the market seems quite empty. But in the late afternoon, when people finish work and school, the streets fill up again and the market is busier than ever.
