TTK At The Real Tourist Mercado Market (Watch Video Please!!!!)

I've been busy, better late than never am supposed to have published months ago, please bear with me, I will make sure is all out before the end of the year.  
The Mexican tourist market is called “Mercado 28” if any of mi lovely readers are thinking of travelling; is a fantastic city, lovely!  There are quite a number of markets in the city of Cancun but as a tourist and for safety Mercado 28 or playa de Carmen is perfect.  The only negativity with playa de Carmen is that their goods and souvenirs are expensive. 

There are lot of tourist from America that goes to Mexico, so when they spotted an African they assume you are from America.  The trader’s attitude is just like Nigerians selling in Naija market so you have to bargain and not pay the first price they uttered.


























There are armed police men at every corner of Playa de Carmen Street because the crime rate is pretty high in the city, even though Playa de Carmen is in a secluded area, for the safety of the tourist. The police men standing opposite some shops did not deterred some die hard doggy sellers from approaching tourist.

They come out of the shops holding packets of Cuban cigars or jewelleries, offering to sell.  These sellers  moved a little bit closer then whispered, informing one about the hard drugs they sell, I mean hard drugs from heroine to cocaine you just name it; they usually approach men.

Playa de Carmen is more fun and lively in the evening, there are many shops lined up the street, as well as night clubs and people with exotic animals are also on the street for tourist to take pictures at a cost. Many people made an effort to learn and speak English because of the huge rate of American tourist.  
Also men dressed in Mexican warrior costumes are available for a selfie at a price.   I saw the man with the monkey, iguana, parrot, and different species of dogs, oh before I forgot and the snake man.

Mercado 28 is just a market but cheaper for tourist, it has different stalls and shops under a large building more convenient for family shopping, is children friendly. No doggy sales, see clips of the market above, the picture above was also snapped at the Mercado market, enjoy! Do you think yours truly blogger is getting better at producing video, Wink! will improve lol!.
