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.
