It's a large market that I could stay at all day. I enjoy being able to purchase items from those who use local products as they want to keep funds in the city instead of ordering from other countries. I have also discovered some of the best candy while walking around the market. While there are a few museums and shopping centers, the city has really went downhill in the past few years that I have been here. Some businesses have closed while others have moved to larger cities. The city does try to decorate in a festive manner for the Christmas holiday. This is probably the one thing I look forward to through the year.
