Then I went to the local market by myself. (I think it’s a chain though because I saw another one or two just like it.)
Going to the market was fun…even though I bought the wrong kind of sugar and took it back to get the right kind.
It would have been easier for everyone if I could have said ‘I’d like to return this sugar for this other sugar’ but like usual, pointing, encouraging charades, and local English speakers got the job done.
