Horrifying to think about. bu konuda düşünmek korkutucu oldu The people are super friendly.İnsanlar çok canayakın The prices are decent.Fiyatlar Tamam The fish is really delicious here. Balık burada çok lezzetli I want to learn more about the cooking. Ben pişirme hakkında bilgi edinmek istiyorum Sometimes people take advantage in the bazaar. Bazen satıcılar piyasada yararlanmak.
