The Weekend Market
          Many tourists I have met have told me that one place they have to
go is the  weekend market. This market is huge and has everything from
 bags, souvenirs and handicrafts to many kinds of animals, many kinds
of plants and it also has a variety of local food. 1. 
___________, the
weekend market is a great place for shopping and experiencing the
local culture.
       The market is located near the city's main bus station so people 
come from all over the country to buy and sell goods. 2. 
__________ , it 
is also near a sky train station and a subway station which makes it very 
convenient for city people, especially young people who don't have cars. 
The market is very large and full of hundreds of small shops and stalls.
3. _____________
, it can be confusing to get around.  4. _________, if 
you get lost, it is a good idea to look for the clock tower which is right in 
the middle of the market. It will help you find your way.
    When I walk into the market early on a Sunday morning there are 
people and cars and motorcycles everywhere. You have to be 
careful where you walk. Many people are bringing their goods to sell
in big bags  on carts and trolleys. 5. 
________, you might even have to 
jump out of the sellers' way as they charge along the narrow walkways 
with   their goods. 6. 
___________ to the sellers, tourists and locals are 
pouring in looking for something  to eat or ready to start shopping. 
7. 
____________, the market gets more and more crowded and you 
have to start squeezing past people to keep moving.
      As you walk through the market you will experience many sensations. 
8. 
_____________, there are many smells, scents and aromas. One 
moment you will be smelling the aromas of stir-friend cooking dishes
from a small restaurant and the next you smell the scents of orchids and 
other flowers as you pass through the cooler and more relaxing garden 
section. 9. 
_______________, walking deeper into the market, your eyes 
will have trouble recording so many products with their many colors, 
designs and sizes. After a while you may feel dizzy and look for a quiet 
place to have a rest and a refreshing drink. 10. 
__________, there are 
many small cafes and drink stalls selling fresh coconut juice, orange juice 
or iced water.
               11.__________, a  day at the weekend market is both a day 
of  shopping and a unique experience for your senses. It is a kind of 
magical journey that is great as a first experience for tourists and an
escape from daily life for locals. 12. 
___________ while it is usually 
hot and crowded, the atmosphere is friendly and good-natured.
