Like most people, I have to go shopping for food quite frequently. I live with my friends and we are students, so we can't afford to eat in restaurants very often. We are all healthy eaters. But I really like going to the local market because I like organic food. And everything you get there is fantastic. It's so fresh. The local market is located nearby my house. It's pedestrian, there are no cars. And it's right in the middle of a bustling district. It's opposite the station, so it's very convenient. And what I like, well, it's usually quite crowded. There is a large number of stalls that sell food and some shops too. I've been going there for quite a while, so I know where the healthier food is. I usually buy things like fruits and vegetables. Also meat and fish. I've got a favorite stall that's run by a little old lady. And any of the fruit she sells is great. She weighs everything very quickly and you can bargain with her. But the prices are always reasonable, as I've mentioned. I like it because the fruit tastes so good and it's also a very sociable place. People do stop and talk to each other.
