Shopping at the local market is usually one of the first tasks of the day as the lady preparing lunch needs to buy ingredients to prepare a daily meal for the family living in the home community.

You will walk around the market in Tanji, bargain for the price and buy all ingredients, mostly fresh, brought from the farm or sea.

You will try out different household chores like sweeping, washing and ironing, breaking the firewood, cooking, doing the dishes, and fetching water from a local well or tap - but with local utensils, without electricity and modern household gadgets. It also goes along with how people blend these chores with entertainment, either with friends or family. Gambians believe in socializing, and all their duties are social art. They can come together at a well and wash their clothes, wash their dishes, or even cook and eat together. It is common among neighbours and people living together in the same compound. Seeing and acknowledging the diversity of the host and visitor's cultures and lifestyles is interesting.
