People start opening stalls around 9 am and starts winding down between 4:30 and 5. By 5:30 it's pretty quiet and most things are closed. However there do seem to be a few shops in the market that stay open a little longer.

A:
A number of the stalls have a few chairs for sitting and eating. Most people stood by the stall where they purchased their food and enjoyed their selection while people-watching.
