MY TOWN IN TEN PICS : 2ND MARCH, 2022 : MARKET DAY, NAVRONGO

in hive-187593 •  3 years ago 

Greetings everyone,

It is another market day and as usual, lots of individuals and shops came out in their numbers to try to make ends meet once more. It is on these days that customers also come to town in masses so this is the best time to trade. Market days occur usually every 3 days so the next one is going to be on Saturday.

I captured some moments on this busy day which I would be sharing in this edition so you would have a feel of how businesses operate and the prices of goods over here.

And for a puncture fix, they charge 5 cedis (2.3 steem).
