Last week, I visited Kangemi market in Nairobi which is hidden behind the vibandas (stalls) seen from the roadside. It was an early morning visit.

Lots of people were walking in and out. The kiosks included just a sack laid on the ground or a wheelbarrow occupied every available space except pathways.
