The men were chatting and the old woman at the counter sat still

A wide variety of stores line the streets of the Yamuliao Market in Tainan. Among them, some stores seem to be thriving, while others are not so prosperous. The store in the photo, unfortunately, seemed to belong to the latter.

There were hardly any products on the counter. Instead, two elderly men were enjoying a chat at the counter. Judging by the lack of movement, it appears that they are not customers. Perhaps they are close friends with the owner and use this place as a place to relax.

An old woman, who appeared to be the owner, sat quietly at the counter. She does not join in the conversation of the men, but simply sits still. I could sense that she was bored with her time. When I pointed my camera at her, the old woman returned my gaze quietly, not particularly agitated. The calm expression on her face seemed to symbolize the laid-back atmosphere unique to this market.
