As the day wore on, Andrea expected that the market would start to wind down, the crowds thin and the traders pack up their stands. Some were, but most seemed to be transitioning for evening activities. The daylight had dimmed, and traders turned on strung lights around their stalls, giving the market a fun carnival atmosphere. Musicians and performers busking for coins added to the ambiance.
The crowds grew with customers who were getting out of work and potentially looking for somewhere to get dinner, either to eat on site or takeaway home. It was a sensory feast of aromatic spices, sizzling meats, and freshly baked goods.
