The Market

Welcome reader. Welcome to the Market. The Market is a special place which can be found near a huge bus stand and it is like a collection of catacombs, except the tunnels have been replaced by shops and they are all above ground.

The Market caters to all. It is perhaps the most tolerant of place. Here you can see Hindus serving Muslims, a Jewish bakery employing Muslim chefs to make cake for a Christian festival, you can see short people, tall people, fat people and thin people and it is the same with the goods available.

From knives and forks or other cutlery, to clothes and tailors to curios and cake, the Market has it all. It would be the ideal place to make up fairy tales about but Neil Gaiman has already done that in Stardust.

The Market is an ecosystem. A living entity made of concrete and bricks. It has underground parking. It has a Clock. It has shopkeepers selling both fake and real merchandise. It has a restaurant. I don't think it is possible to explore the Market thoroughly in one day. It will take at least three.

So come one and come all. The Market awaits!
