At the pazar we met with Haydar Yildirim. He is a 52 years old man who sells baby clothes together with his wife.
He started his pazar carreer when he was 10 years old by helping his father. He likes his job very much because he feels to be part of life with it.Haydar has 3 children. one is a teacher, one is a student and the last one works at a bank. He doesn't expect his children to become sellers like him at a pazar, but sometimes his children help him with his job.
He sells his baby clothes at different pazars on each day of the week. Before he started to sell baby clothes, he was selling apples from his farm. But because of health problems and bad incomes, he changed his goods into light clothes.
At the end of our conversation we asked him how he thinks about his live. He answered convincingly that he is very satisfied with his live and that he is very happy with his job.
For me the pazar looks a little bit unfamiliar. In Belgium we don't have something like that. But I enjoy visiting those pazars, because it's very cosy and crowded at the same time. You can find many things for low prices. Also the way how the sellers try to sell their goods is very unusual for me. They are shouting and almost singing to attract the consumers to buy something. For me it doesn't work. I only buy goods from sellers who are quiet like Haydar. Not that I bought some baby clothes, but it's just to say that Haydar (second from the left) is a calm and friendly man; also his friend is (right).
I enjoyed talking with him. He was very enthusiastic about his job. And to make our day complete, a tea seller offered us a tea for free.
