It was my first time to visit the weekend market in Salcedo. There's something about weekend markets that make you giddy and excited, no? Siguro, especially if you're a shopaholic na pati simpleng weekend market papatulan mo. Haha.
We got there at around half past ten in the morning and the place was already swarming with people. It's a good thing the park is huge, and that it's covered with trees so the shoppers need not worry about the scorching heat.
We were in a hurry that day (and this was only a side trip as the name of this blog post suggests), so I was able to explore only half of the park. And I was able to take very few pictures. I didn't even treat myself to anything. Sayang. Di bale, I plan to go back there soon!
Here are a few tips to remember when going to the Salcedo Weekend Market (or to any weekend market, for that matter):
- Bring an umbrella. Most, if not all, weekend markets are set up in huge open spaces. If you worry about sunburn, it's better to hide under your sunnies and umbrellas.
- Prepare for long walks. Like I said, huge open spaces. Oh, and bring a bottle of water if you tire easily.
- Bring lots of cash and self-control. Haha. You never know what you'll find in a weekend market, so it's better to be prepared. You wouldn't believe the goodies they have there. You actually have to control your impulse-buying nerves so as not to go broke.
- Go there hungry. This is actually a self-serving tip. Haha. There are lots of food items to choose from. To be honest, I hated myself for eating breakfast before going to the weekend market. I should have eaten there instead.
Happy shopping!
