The Brunnenmarket - by Nigel A JAMES


Market Forces
The Brunnenmarkt in Vienna!


It's a cold snowy Viennese morning. There are many people outside, and for them the weather's no problem. They are at Vienna's Brunnenmarkt. A place that the Viennese love. And, the reason is simple. It's all in its character.

The Brunnenmarkt has a charm of its own. It's not only life in the open with spirit, colour, and the smells of far away tastes, but plenty to purchase as well. There are fruits and vegetables from all over the world, there are spices and herbs from the orient, and its meat and fish are second to none. In other words, there is something for everyone's taste! And tastes are not only edibles!

Items for sale range from clothes to shoes to pots to brushes to brooms and everything else you can think of. And, everything's exciting. Here is the world! There are people from everywhere. But, at the same time, the Brunnenmarkt has very much in common with all markets all over the world.

Whether indoors or out, all markets have the thrill of real life contact. Behind every stall is a person, and these people are the same where ever one goes! They not only say the same things in many different languages, but also wear the same clothes.There are no real differences. And, that's why markets are still very popular.

They are the souls of our cities and towns and everyone's welcome. And, because people like people, there will always be markets. Shopping in the open – for only the best - and even in winter. What could be better?
