The market seems so inviting and would be a place we would love to frequent. However, you mention price a few times, and that seems to be an issue around the world. Price has become a factor for us visiting and taking part in different festivities here as well. Things have just went up in price too much to justify the expense.
Increased food price seems to be the problem everywhere. I still visit these markets and take a look, even if I know I'm not going to buy much. It just doesn't feel right to pay double or triple for something you can buy cheaper elsewhere.
YEs, or make yourself for much cheaper.
That's the other option, a very good one. Cheaper and healthier as well.
