I lean toward the market feel. It’s so much more welcoming and I feel more accomplished lol. The open air feels more inviting and just bustling in the throng of people is fun.

Supermarkets in Malawi 🇲🇼 are relatively small. The staff is not that motivated which is understandable. It breaks my heart how they have to be so mechanical for hours.

Not to say vendors are free of worries and disadvantages though.

    Would love to know, too. To my European eyes, it looks like onions, potatoes, apples and tomatoes, but surely they have some different produce there. Whatever is in the bottom-left does look unfamiliar, at least…

      You have nailed almost everything 👏 . To the bottom right are a few sweet potatoes. The bottom middle has unripe tomatoes. These are at times sold to ripen later on. Locals do prefer buying most commodities ripe.
