Cruising through Market Friday Challenge
This is an inspiration from Denise @dswigle to join the #MarketFriday Challenge! If you haven't followed her yet; please do so now as she is one of those genuine encourages with a true heart and soul to support people on Steemit.

This is the one tag and weekly challenge that I try to make a point to join; not to mention that I'm also a fanatic when it comes to sight seeing or shopping in any form of market - indoors, outdoors, food, textile, accessories and etc.

This also happens to be my first time to post a blog on the Market Friday community. I'm not sure how it will come out to be since there's so many new changes on Steemit that I seemed to lost count of what needs to be done.

Here, I have the view of one of the local markets; one which the street is large enough for motorbikes to pass through. You will notice that these motorcyclist just stop their bikes in front of the stalls and make their purchases there and then. After that, they just drive off, no need to even park their bikes!

#### Absolutely convenient or Lazy !!

I don't know which is which though but for people like me who needs to walk, it can be really a nuisance because we have watch our backs to ensure we don't get knocked over by these bikes. Plus, they occupy so much space on the streets that it's kind of hard to walk. 

> It is always interesting to see the different markets around the globe! 
There's so many different cultures and beauty in this world and the more we travel and open up our eyes, the more we gain.

It's easy to participate :
1. Go to the market! Any market will do! Food, Clothing, Plant or Animal, if you wish. You can go to the zoo or an art auction. Anywhere or anything that you pay money for a service. 
2. Take pictures! Be creative (or not)
3. Tell us a little bit about the market, what brought you here?
4. Post the picture(s)
5. Don’t forget to hashtag it! #MarketFriday by @dswigle

@dswigle ·
Thank you so much for your support and #Steemitlove! You make me feel so good, always sending me the very best of shots and always wowing me with your blogs.

Thank you!

 This was such a cool post and I have been so wound up in the events of steemit this week, I never got to finish the comments! I hope that you are not offended and while I did read all of them, I always like to comment fully on them, which didn't happen to about 1/3 of them. 

#MarketFriday is so appreciative of all the people that support it and know that we wouldn't be having one without people like yourself. Steemit means a lot to me and I just want to see it get back to where it once was, or at least someplace that feels better than this. 

I hope that we all can just continue with our life here and throw some fairy dust on this place. I know we can make magic again!! Thank you again! xoxo

Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it?
Here is how: How to Participate:

Go to the market! Any market will do! Food, Clothing, Plant or Animal, if you wish. You can go to the zoo or an art auction. Anywhere or anything that you pay money for a service. I once went to a nail salon.
Take pictures! Be creative (or not)
Tell us a little bit about the market, what brought you here?
Post the picture(s)
Don’t forget to hashtag it! #MarketFriday by @dswigle
Drop the link to your post here so I can easily find them
It is always interesting to see the different markets around the globe! C’mon! Show me your market shots! I eagerly await them!

#MarketFriday loves you!

Upped and steemed
