What you'll do

1. 1

   We will take you on a walk along the market which actually sits atop the train tracks and try our tropical fruits and food from around the area until a little warning bell rings over the speaker before the train comes. The awnings are pulled back only as far as necessary, the baskets of fruit and vegetables are shifted just enough as to not be sliced by the metal wheels. Amazingly, nothing is damaged or broken, and as soon as the train passes, vendors continue as normal.
