Brand new year and how I long for colorful, kinder world.

During the social restriction, which seems to be never ending, we are restrained from going to gatherings and public spaces with lots of people on it. For sure, masks and physical distancing should always be applied. 

On one of the first days in 2021, I just walked around to catch some sunlight and get more exercise. I then stopped at the traditional market near our house in Rawamangun. Although it was only a brief stop, I was happy to see those fresh veggies, fruits, fish and more.

I did take pictures and it was very enlightening. 

The vibe, the spirit, the joy. 

I feel so rich to be surrounded by Indonesia's treasures like its fresh produce, indigenous spices and herbs, local meat and seafood products, as well as traditional munchies. 

I feel like there will be hopes we all can cling on to no matter how daunting our days are. And that my friend, is what we need for 2021.

Check out some of these photos I took.

  2. It's nice to see these traditional markets opening back up. Most of ours are still closed locally, but I am hoping we get things under control by summer so we can resume visiting them again. Thanks for sharing your pictures. It gives me hope that we are on the cusp of normalcy soon!

  3. Saya mah bukan suka lagi Mbak. Emang adanya di kampung mah pasar tradisional. Jadi ga ada pilihan suka atau tidak. Hehehe ... Malah di kampung saya tempati ini, pasarnya seminggu cuma ada dua kali hari Selasa dan Jumat aja. Jadi kalau belanja sekaligus buta dua atau tiga hati gitu...

  17. Udah sejak pandemi, aku gak ke pasar, kak INdah.
    Karena rumornya bermacam-macam mengenai pasar di Bandung, terutama pasar dekat rumah kami. Dan ini membuatku semakin nyaman dengan pesan makanan online.
    Hihii~

  18. Salah satu yang bikin aku ga kuat masuk pasar kadang-kadang ada bau amis yang kuat banget, mam. Aku kan memang ga tahan bau ikan dan daging mentah yang tertumpuk dalam jumlah banyak itu. Paling seneng masuk yang bagian sayur-sayuran dan buah, segeeer gitu liatnya.
