The Great Global Bazaar: An Immersive Odyssey Through International Marketplaces

The Great Global Bazaar: An Immersive Odyssey Through International Marketplaces

• Organized Chaos: Immerse yourself in the high-energy atmosphere of the most iconic hubs, from the spice-scented air of Istanbul to the floating boats of Thailand.
• A Living Museum: Discover why a local marketplace often reveals more about a country’s "soul" than its national monuments or museums.
• The Human Pulse: Discuss how these hubs serve as more than just shops—they are community anchors where news is shared and traditions are kept alive.
• The Art of the Haggle: Explore the psychology and "unwritten rules" of bargaining—is it a battle of wits or a social dance?
• Taste of the Street: From handmade crafts to sizzling street food, identify the "must-buy" items that define different corners of the map.
• Tradition vs. Convenience: Debate the pros and cons of our shift from vibrant, tactile open-air markets to the sterile efficiency of modern malls.
• Your Dream Destination: If you were handed a plane ticket and an empty suitcase, which famous international bazaar would you fly to first, and what treasure would you bring home?

When: March 28 (Saturday) 14:00-16:00
