To The Ends of the World - China Ep. 1 Preview
Undoubtedly the most vibrant market to be found any where in the world takes place in Kasgarh every Sunday.
It lasts the whole day and the first to arrive are the ice merchants. They need to find buyers before the unforgiving sun reduces these fragile blocks to muddy puddles. It takes about a week to produce 1 block and the merchants are justifiably eager to sell. Throughout the morning, droves of people arrive ready to haggle and bargain until dusk. Tried and tested over many hundreds of years, the event is well ordered and divided into different sections with the animal market attracting the largest crowds. Its also a meeting place where ideas are shared while you fuss over your flock to make sure that it will attract good prices. A good fattened sheep will cost you the equivalent of about 50 US Dollars but this price will lower as the day wears on. For those who come by donkey cart these donkey-parking areas are available to park your transport. Donkeys are not even left alone and either looking miserable or making others miserable. It is at times like these that the donkey-parking attendant must act firmly to curb dissent and whips ass.
