That is really awesome that everyone takes the time to look good when going to the Mosque. Deep respect for those that take a few moments out of their day. Some people cannot afford to dress that nice, but, it costs nothing for a little water to clean.

What a great price at the shoe repairman. Even though he only cleaned them up, I think that was a fair price. The akara looked tasty! Was it good? I notice it is a staple that many eat! I would have to say that you definitely had a wonderful #MarketFriday!
Thank you so much for being a part of #MarketFriday! I am so happy to see such an awesome response to the challenge. The response was overwhelming this week, so I apologize for the brevity, It is a holiday weekend and I have had family from out of town since Wednesday, so time is not mine. I promise you, I am never this short! :)

#MarketFriday has evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact of what is normal for where you live? These are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I can only hope this to be true.
