Sumy Marketplace




Here are a few pictures from the Sumy outdoor market. There are hundreds of street vendors selling their goods in a very concentrated area of downtown. They set up for this 6 days a week taking Monday off. These 3 pictures are people selling dogs, live chickens and fresh fish. You can buy virtually anything you want like clothes, cleaning supplies, watches, books, flowers, cell phones, etc. There were thousands of people moving about the marketplace in a mass of humanity. It was truly an amazing place. Hundreds of merchants set up their stores for the day and then take the entire thing down around 3 pm for the day. They pack it up and cart it off somewhere to be stored and do it all over again around 8 am the next day.
