Selling at the school was a very different experience from selling at a public flea market.
firstly, the students only have a tiny window/pockets of time to spare, most of which would go to the queuing and buying of food and having their meal of course.
then, there is that high decibel noise level which hits you so instantly the minute the bell rings for recess. (i never felt we were so noisy as students as i was too, contributing to the noise!)
when the first recess came, i got a little intimidated by the huge swarm of students. they were pouring in from all sides and directions! i thought i had prepared myself for that to happen afterall, i have sold before in art fest at NJ. but no. i wasn’t prepared for the crowd. it was…scary.
still, it got better and i got prepared better for the second recess crowd. 🙂
being in a school compound reminds me of school life again. the cheap food at the canteen (my mother was not used to how all the food was ‘pre-cooked’ instead of cooked-to-order. i never realised that was distinctive to school canteens, now i do.), students getting scolded for not tucking in their shirts properly, long queues for the more popular stalls…. the school building was very beautiful btw, i liked how it is low-rise without many many many floors/stairs (something i got quite used to in NJ), and the landscaping was quite unique. plus it is in the east coast area without all the city-buzz; it had a really rustic kind of feel.
the students and teachers showed interest too so that was nice. 🙂
