Am very sorry that the market burned down, especially as there is some talk that the fire was deliberate as the license to operate it was expiring soon I understand. If the stall owners were burned out of their livelihoods and stock, that really is not good at all. However, I am pretty sure this is the market I went to once and never again because of the damn agent ladies; they all wore blue aprons from memory; God it was maybe 10 years ago. Three or four stories right? We never actually managed to buy anything there because of these agent ladies. It did not matter how much you told them “no” and even if you walked out and came back via another entrance, another would latch onto you, so my memories of the place are not so sweet, but again I am sad to hear people just lost the rice off their tables.
