Feast of the Black Nazarene 2011 - the vendors and the street

This will be my 2nd year for doing a blog special about the Feast of the Black Nazarene. My photo walk and adventure will start here from Recto up to Quiapo church, on our way to reach the church to attend the mass, even that it rain so hard, we got lucky to reach the church after some hours of waiting for the rain to stop. In this post, are my photo collections of street vendors who are so busy selling their items everwhere, I also complained on some vendors who always disturb you whenever you are praying, getting your attention and ask you if you want to buy their shirts, candles and sampaguitas. Most annoying are street kid vendors, they are noisy and makulit and didn't mind if you are praying during the mass.

I noticed that the number of street vendors has increased for this year, shirts are almost everywhere, priced at P100 each and sando shirt for kids at P50, I was planning to buy one shirt for myself, but I have no small amount on that morning, but my sis bought one sando shirt for my son Ash. I also don't like those tokneneng sellers in the middle of the church crowd, the smoke and hot frying pan are annoying whenever you are nearby. Mineral water and sodas are also sold, and those DIY print on the spot shirt are the most appreciated by people because it is less expensive.
