The place was incredibly lively and packed with many stalls and local residents. While I was walking, I came across a wood carving stall where an old man was carving an elephant out of wood. I found it fascinating, so I stopped to watch and completely lost track of time. When he finished carving, I realized that all my group members had disappeared, and I was completely alone in the middle of the market. At that time, I felt quite anxious and a bit panicked since I had never been in a situation like this before. Fortunately, I had my phone with me and decided to contact my tour guide to inform him about my situation. He calmly told me to meet him at the entrance of the market.
