Tamu - Nabawan Town

I was in Nabawan last wednesday and caught the weekly tamu (market). If I am not mistaken, there is also a weekly tamu on saturdays.


This guy asked me to take a photo of him ... so I did. He told me he was a local resident.


In addition to the many stalls inside the covered market shed ...


... there were many stalls under tents outside.


We (town dwellers) are so used to going out and buying whatever we need (or just want) at anytime of the day or even the night. The people in these rural areas come down to the town to these weekly tamus to buy ...


... the nice things ...


... and the necessities (this guy was doing a roaring business in eggs).
 

There were various mangoes and other fruits ...


... to a gong set ...


... to pottery ...


... to pots, pans and crockery ...


... to sandals and shoes. This was like having a department store spread out all over.


Every town must have a snooker joint (there were 2 actually). This game variant used pool balls and playing cards.


The owner of the "Antibiotik Cyber Cafe" should be told that antibiotics don't work on viruses!!!

 
A pair of nice looking trees; branches then the tree grew and then branches again giving a layered effect. Anyone knows what they are?
