When I entered a side street from the main street, I found myself in a local market called Bailan (White Orchid). Despite the beautiful name "White Orchid," the market is not neatly maintained, nor are there rows of flower shops selling orchids. It is just an ordinary market where local people come to buy daily necessities. This kind of local market is one of my favorites, but it is difficult to find out where it is. The guidebook I had did not mention this market at all. But I was able to come to this market thanks to Google Maps. Without Google Maps, I would never have come here or even known it existed.
As I was walking through the market, I saw a bicycle parked in front of a store. It seemed to be an electric bicycle, as it had a device under the saddle. Child seats were attached to the front and back of the saddle, and a young girl was sitting in each. They were similar in age, so they must have been older children or twins. They were accompanied by their parents on a shopping trip. For a young girl, coming to a market that sells only daily necessities is not a pleasant experience, and the girl sitting in the back looked unhappy.
