Well, I’m going to talk about where I shop for food. Like most people, I have to go shopping for food quite frequently. I live with a couple of other women and with students, so we can’t afford to eat in restaurants very often. We’re all healthy eaters. But um, I really like going to the local market because I like organic food and everything you get there is fantastic. It’s so fresh, you know. So let me tell you where it is. It’s in the street near my home. It’s a pedestrian street. You know, there are no cars. It’s right in the middle of a busy district. It’s opposite the station, so it’s very convenient. Yeah. And, um, what’s it like? Well, it’s usually very crowded. Thats quite a popular place. Theres a large number of stalls that sell food and some shops too. Ive been going there for quite a while so I know where the healthiest food is. I usually buy things like fruit and vegetables, also meat and cheese and fish. I’ve, uh, got a favorite stall. It’s run by a little old lady and any of the fruits she sells is great. She weighs everything very quickly and you cant bargain with her, but the price is always reasonable, as ive mentioned. I like it because the food tastes good, but also its a very sociable place. People do stop and talk to each other. In fact, it’very noisy. Yeah. All in all, I like it because it’s a great place to go. It’s a colorful experience.
