A grim-faced man stood where vegetables were displayed in a supermarket
There is a supermarket in the middle of a residential area, not close to the station or along a main road. It is a busy place. The quality of the goods sold is good, and they are inexpensive. It is a popular local supermarket among people in the know. I often come here. But what attracts me most is neither the price nor the quality. It is the atmosphere.
The vegetables and fruits are sold the old-fashioned way in an old building. The price tags were all handwritten, and I could hear the occasional sales pitch from the shopkeepers. Wandering around the busy supermarket, I felt like I was in a market somewhere in Southeast Asia. Although the supermarket is only a 10-minute walk from my house, I feel like I am on a trip here for a while.
However, there are only a few people who come here to feel like a traveler. The man in the photo standing at the vegetable counter had a grim face and did not look like he was enjoying a short trip. For most people, the atmosphere in this old-fashioned supermarket is that of everyday life.
