Experienced travelers say "If you want to see the local culture, look at the situation and the atmosphere of the market .."
Thankfully after the Zanbal pilgrimage we stopped at Tarim Souq or Tarim market.
The situation in this market is very different from ours, they will not be caught in the process of trading. We will not meet Tarim women in this market except women beggars or refugees from Africa or foreign tourists. . The needs of the Tarim residents' kitchens will be purchased by their men, fathers or husbands.
What's more, the women in the market will never meet. It even becomes a disgrace when a local woman "wanders" in the market.
Tarim market traders are not as much in the hunt for profit. If their store is crowded with customers, the shop owner will recommend that they go shopping at a nearby store or any other non-customer store so that they can distribute their sales to other neighbors. This is the beautiful culture I have never seen in my travels everywhere.
Their dependence on God is very strong.
Let's play this short video ..
Kata pengembara berpengalaman "Andai kamu mahu melihat budaya setempat, perhatikan keadaan dan suasana pasarnya.."
Alhamdulillah seusai ziarah Zanbal tadi, kami singgah di Souq Tarim atau pasar Tarim.
Keadaan di pasar ni amat berbeza di trmpat kita, mereka tidak akan terpekik² utk melariskan dagangan mereka. Kita tidak akan bertemu dengan wanita² Tarim di pasar ini melainkan pengemis wanita atau kanak² pelarian dari Africa ataupun pelancong luar. . Keperluan dapur warga Tarim akan dibeli oleh kaum lelaki, bapa atau suami mereka.
Apatah lagi wanita yang berniaga di pasar pasti tidak akan ketemu. Malah menjadi suatu aib apabila wanita tempatan berlegar² di pasar.
Peniaga² pasar Tarim tidak haloba dlm mencari laba. Andai toko mereka dikerumi ramai pelanggan, tuan toko tersebut akan menyarankan sebahagian nya pergi membeli di toko sebelah atau mana² toko yang tiada pelanggan supaya mereka dapat berbahagi rezeki jual beli ke jiran toko yang lain. Inilah budaya indah yang belum pernah aku lihat sepanjang musafirku kemana² tempat.
Pergantungan rezeki mereka kepada Allah sangat kuat.
Jom kita layan video pendek ni..
