Use this to guide your way as you write about market.

Sights

Baskets of big pepper, neat cone shape of food stuffs, women putting on blouses, women wearing dirty blouses, old benches, wet ground, market sellers without stalls, people pushing shell barrow, beggars, hooligans, untarred road, traders pulling people or gesturing to them to buy their wares, slow movement of people, buyers prolong look, enticing products and wares, mouse, small rodents.

Sound
Children playing, women arguing, squeaky table, cranky noise of wheel barrows, basin and bowls clanging, splash of water or a liquid goods falling, the boisterous noise of women haggling with their buyers.

Smell
Fresh smell of foodstuffs, irritating body odours, sweet smell of perfume at perfume store, raw cold smell of meat and fish, inviting smell of dryfish and cray fish, dirt, fried and cooked products.

Taste
Cold air, dry air
Touch
Avoiding the touch of dirty people, walking slowly to avoid hitting others, hitting others without saying sorry, brushing of body, cold feel of frozen fish, hotness of fast food, dryness of foodstuff, rubbing of goods, gently picking of foodstuffs, careful picking of fragile stuffs, pinching cold stuffs, grasping of big goods, carrying of heavy goods

Question: What description would you have added to these?
