Meet My Host Community Part2

I went to the market with 2 of my colleagues. The first interesting sight is the burukutu spots. There are as many burukutu spots as there are fruit sellers. It looked cream in colour and didn't smell differently. You'd be wondering why I'm so fascinated. I've only heard about it, im seeing it for the first time.

As you can trust, food is cheap and fruits are fresh. A fried regreted buying 150 soup ingredients. As I am writing, he's not done with it. I saw some oranges, they were almost spotless. They bore the semblance of the shoprite (imported) oranges not like the ones we eat in Lagos where the oranges are like map of the world with green seas and yellow continents.

I tried out the kwulikwuli and I realised what i've been missing. Crunchy, fresh, tasty and cheap. I hope I'm forgiven if I take more than what I'm supposed to take for my lifetime.

I tried out the akara too. I bought 20 naira's worth and saw 6 blazing hot pieces. That's like a miracle. The interesting part was, the pepper they sprinkled. All these for 20 Naira? I think I'll recommend that in this cold weather. Despite the fact that it was cold and dry, I was sweating after 6 hot akaras.

I decided to go price roasted chicken laps and I heard 250. In my heart I asked.thousand or naira. I scanned the table and saw all the condiments waiting to be added as soon as the transaction is done. I concluded that, wren I want to do "be happy", I just come here.

I will definitely have a great time.
