 [Speaking] Talk about Markets in Apartment Complexes
A market is held in our apartment complex on every Wednesday. It’s called the Wendesday market because that’s when it takes place. The biggest selling point is that you can buy fresh produce and fish which are hard to find at ordinary supermarkets.

On market day, you can also find a lots ready-to-eat snacks. For example, you can buy and enjoy traditional foods, like 호떡 hot cakes and pig’s trotter. You can also get various puffed snacks that are usually only sold at traditional markets. If you bring ingredients like rice cakes, corn, or toasted rice, they even make the snack for you on the spot.

Everyone is very generous at the Wensday market. You can really connect with people there. You can also haggle over prices. Every is all laughs as the venders and shoppers ask after each other.
