The dates look delicious, the orange is good, too! So we started picking up some to buy. Hope I can take all of them back to home.
After paying for fruit, we quickly go to wash fruits and enjoy directly.
After enjoying fruits, we set off again and ahead to buy vegetables. So many different kind of vegetables.
