Today I’m going to talk about crowded place that I have been to and it was the carbon market located in Cebu City. I tried to avoid visiting a lot of people or it’s like crowded place unless I have an important reason for that. So mainly because I don’t really like noise. I still remember in early 90s, I had the opportunity to visit carbon market in Cebu City. It’s widely recognized as one of the public market here in Cebu. The steer volume of people when I arrived, the people were packed with carbon market, were packed with people. The vendors were all calling other vendors to ask some information. Although it’s crowded and I really also felt overwhelming and I feel bit anxious at first. I also found the experience was great and interesting. I felt that visiting crowded places is not that too bad knowing that you can bargain some products. You can ask for discounted prices and you can meet a lot of people there seeing their happy smile. So I think it was tiring but in the end it was really worth it.
