IKSAN ELDERLY

So many of the now elderly lived on the farm; so, city life is a bit foriegn to them. The open markets and street vendors are generally those that have stayed on their farms growing vegetables to sell--many elderly. They squat on the sidewalks and walk bent over all day showing their wares laid out on the street. I love to buy my vegetables from them. You know they will always be fresh, and handled with care. They patiently hand peel all the garlic gloves and green onions. The white radishes are HUGE--a foot long many times. I love the market. Many of the elderly work in community areas such as parks and along the streets weeding and clearing dead foilage. I'm not sure how that works, but it's very organized. They wear their hats and bonnets and safety vests. Many elderly have hand trailors that they pile high with cardboard and other recyclable items and trudge through the streets to the nearest recycle station. And there's the parks where you can exercise or just meet with other friends to play a game of cards. It's really nice to see them gathered around enjoying the comradary.
