An outdoor market that I visited was a place called Commercial Street in Bangalore, which is located in the southern part of Karnataka, India. It's not exactly a market; it's a street on which you see a lot of small markets located. Back when I was small, we usually visited this market during my holidays because we used to get a vacation for a month, and Bangalore is not the place that I stayed; it’s my hometown. So we used to go there maybe just for a week or so, and back then, Commercial Street used to be the place where we would go for sure to get all our stuff. But right now, since I am studying close to Bangalore, once in a while, I do tend to go to Commercial Street. What makes Commercial Street quite special is the myriad of markets that are present there. You have stalls ranging from toys, clothes, earrings, bangles—you name it, you have it there. I think it's very special for each of us because you tend to experience the hustle and bustle of life there, as well as learn a lot about how to bargain when you visit such marketplaces. I think you can see the beauty of such market places. Most of the reasons why the younger generation even goes to such market places is definitely the prices, which are on the lower end, as well as the aesthetics because it looks very pretty at night. When I go there, I buy a lot of stuff, but mostly I buy this Indian wear that you call a Kurti. I love visiting Commercial Street; I think it's my go-to place when I go to Bangalore. I would definitely recommend a lot of people who are coming to Bangalore for their vacation to go there as well.
