A very long day; although not as productive as I had anticipated. The Bazaar was pretty big- spread out into two buildings. I was disappointed with the choice of venders and their extremely high prices!
We are after all for all intense purposes living here in Europe, where day trips to the various "factory outlets" enable us to purchase the same things at great discounts! Although depending on the Rank of the Service member; some even find the factories expensive. I found the situation to be in very poor taste for the young Military Families stationed in Europe, who were out "looking" for something to send their families for the Holiday season. Anyone who has walked in the steps of being a Military Family can understand where I'm coming from. "Money is very tight" While "browsing" the isles yesterday, I came across a young Private who was looking for a gift to send his Mom. He wanted to purchase a glass ornament but could not afford the price, he was trying to get the dealer to "come down" a bit on the price; dealer wouldn't budge! Enough was enough..I promptly found Rich and "left the building". I'll wait for the Christmas Markets- and just let time take care of greedy sellers; perhaps it's time they realize that it's "because" of the young troops they were invited onto the Army Base to participate in the first place!
