PALASARI
TRADITIONAL MARKET

The front look of
Palasari Traditional Market |
For this assignment, I’m going to describe one of
traditional markets in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The market I’m going to
describe is Palasari Traditional Market, which located in Jl. Palasari Bandung.
Well, before I describe the condition in the market, I’m going to tell you a
little bit knowledge about Palasari Traditional Market. There are two types of
traditional market in here. The first one is the Daily Market, which sells
vegetables, fruits, and that kind of stuff. The other one is the Book Market,
which sells books. The Book Market is located in the front of Palasari
Traditional Market’s area and the Daily Market is in the back. Anyway, Palasari Traditional Market had a fire
accident twice in its history. The first one is in 1991 and caused a lot of
damages, so the sellers began to sell again on 1992. The other accident is in
2007 or 2008 I forgot, but not caused damages as bad as the first one. Also,
there are more than 200 stores in the market, according one of the sellers that
I interviewed, Mrs. Dede.

There are garbage everywhere
all over the place |
Well, the condition of the market is almost the same as any
traditional market in Bandung. It has advantages and disadvantages. There are a
lot of sellers here, so you can find almost everything here, by everything I mean
vegetables and that kind of stuff and also books. Also, this market have huge
parking lot at the back, so you can travel here by car easily. But, this market
is pretty smelly. It has a lot of garbage all over the place and caused many
files are flying around the area. So, it’s a pretty dirty market, but not
really dirty though. This market also has a narrow path inside the market, so
it’s pretty hard to walk while the market is crowded. Also in rainy season, the
path inside, which only from dirt not floor, get muddy and had a lot of
puddles.
That’s all my description about Palasari Traditional
Market. Thank you for reading J
