Some bunches of bananas were hung from the eaves of the deserted fruit shop

Walking down Pancoran Street in Jakarta's Glodok district, I saw an alley entrance opening its mouth as if inviting me in. Whenever I find such an entrance, I always go in unless there is something wrong. So I went in without hesitation.

The alley was lined with small stores, like a market, and shoppers were walking along the narrow alley. As I moved along with the shoppers, I saw a fruit and vegetable store on my right. It was not a very lively store, but there was very little left to sell on the stand. It seemed that most of the goods had already been sold.

With no products on display, there was no sign of the shopkeepers. It was a very strange store. Only the bunches of bananas hanging from the eaves of the building were swaying sadly. Without the bunches of bananas, it would be difficult to determine that this was a fruit shop. Considering this, the bananas were not unsold, but were probably hung in this way to silently show that this place was a fruit and vegetable store.
