How to get ready to shop in an African open-air market

  1. Dress casually, open-markets tend to be crowded and the hot weather doesn't make it easier

  2. Wear comfortable shoes

  3. If it's your first time, go with someone who has been there before and knows how it works

  4. Always have cash, they don't accept cards. Put it in different unusual places( I once put it in my socks) in case someone steals it (yes, this can happen) 

  5.  Stay hydrated or pack a light snack, because of the long walks and looking through mountains of clothes.

  6. Markets are busier during the weekends.

  7. Don't expect high-quality clothes, sometimes you can find gem and sometimes not

  8. The main word is : BARGAIN ! ALWAYS BARGAIN
