Researching

For my activity I decided to focus on three different markets from the Wellington area. The markets that I have decided to do further researching on are: Cuba's Friday market, the underground Saturday market in Jervois Quay and Johnsonville's Sunday Fruits and Vegetable market. I decided to do some online research before visiting the markets so I could become a bit more familiar about what I'll be studying and also gathering some relevant information that I could potentially miss out when I visit the markets this coming week. These information that I have gathered so far could possibly be helpful for my final design.
