Colombo Hippie Market.
I will not mince my words, but it was a total disappointment today.
First the venue was changed, a few hours ahead of the event and that too was in the middle of the night, putting those who have reserved stalls in a very uncomfortable situation.
Secondly, the chosen venue was a rugby football ground and stalls were allocated on top of the terraces.
All those who have come there were not only young and hippies.
There were families, ladies and elderly among them.
Most refused to climb up those huge terrace steps (mean for sitting to watch matches being played) to reach up to upper level of the stalls installed, thus depriving some of a chance even to recover the hefty admission fees paid to get a place in the market.
Lastly, there was only one lady from the organising committee and she was too busy (with her own works) to even to listen to anyone’s difficulties.
P.s.
Even the refreshments facilities organised were very poor and people who were visiting had not much choice to select from and the products were priced too high as well.
