Although, in essence, the night market in Arpora is just a market where sellers and buyers from all the surrounding villages and towns gather once a week, but everything looks so unusual and bright on it that I personally would be very sorry to part with the memory of it …
The huge area of the market is surrounded by a fence and has the same huge parking areas. Entrance to the market through a metal detector. I don’t know if there are lower prices in other markets, but when you don’t need anything, you just come to stare at this riot of life, and pick up some thing without wanting to buy it, but just thinking whether you need it in principle, then you can buy it very cheaply. Just from the lantern you name the price 5 times lower than the requested one and in the end they give you the goods for it. Just do not show your interest in buying - sellers in the market are subtle psychologists.
It is interesting to watch people who come to the market to eat.
Some came to talk to old friends. There are two hippies of age under or over 70 (it's hard to tell from the lean grandpas), not local, visitors, hugging like old friends.
- How long have you been here?
- No, I arrived a week ago. And you?
Young people coming and local crowd around the stage where some group sings. Sings not good and not bad, but the audience likes it. They can sing along with flashlights turned on on mobile phones over their heads while sipping beer.
The wife "hooked" on the seller selling branded high-quality brand new clothes in design. A t-shirt with a tag and a printed price of $49 is offered for $5 in rupees. I can smoke. Dresses, blouses, daughter, son. On the contrary, they sell fur coats and fur products. It is impossible to imagine anything more comical than a fur coat in Goa. This is not even a harp in a village chicken coop and not a piano in the bushes. But the Russians jump in, they are interested.
And I’m sitting in shorts, a T-shirt with bare shoulders and slippers, sweating from the heat and high humidity, and I’m even afraid to imagine wearing such a fur coat! But now the excavations in the mountains of clothes are completed. The stitches have been counted. Overrated. "Overtrade" and paid. Don't be afraid to say "No, I'm not interested. " They will not let you out of the shop without a thing in your hands.
You can go further.. .
