Arumi Bachsin came to Pasar Soponyono in Surabaya to go shopping. Unfortunately, she admitted that she was late because there was suddenly an activity that required her to go to the airport first.

"Hi, welcome to the paradise of mothers. I came late, so I should have prepared my time since this morning, but this morning I suddenly had to go to the airport first, there was an activity, so I'm still wearing clothes like this," said Arumi when she just entered the market.

2. Fluent in Javanese

As a child born of Dutch, German, and Palembang descent, and also growing up in Jakarta, it is understandable that Arumi Bachsin initially could not speak Javanese. However, after living in Trenggalek and now moving to Surabaya to follow her husband, Arumi Bachsin has become more fluent in communicating in Javanese. Her accent even resembles that of the locals.

Nevertheless, there are some vocabulary words that she does not understand. For example, when one of the sellers says, "Wes payu", Arumi asks someone else until she finds out that the meaning of the expression is "already sold".

"Oh wes payu, wes payu gaes, nggak bisa dibeli," says Arumi.

Fluency in Javanese language makes communication between Arumi Bachsin and the sellers smoother. It not only enables her to carry out transactions, but also to joke occasionally. Like when buying spinach, she jokes with the seller and other buyers.

"Cilik-cilik men lo pak," Arumi says while holding a few bunches of spinach.

"Iki lo mbak sing gede, iki lo mbak," another buyer says while pointing at the seller with the spinach.

Arumi and the seller then laugh upon hearing the joke.

"Bayeme cilik, Bapake sing gede," Arumi responds while continuing to choose spinach.

"Lidah sapi ya bu? Kerso, Bu," Arumi says as soon as she sees the beef tongue that she had intentionally been looking for.

"My husband likes tongue, but I find it disgusting, so when I cook it, I even wear gloves."

"Yes, please," Arumi approached the seller.

"Can I have a photo, please?" said a seller approaching.

"Yo yo let's go, let's go, but I haven't looked at this yet, let me see," said Arumi, who was still enthusiastic about hunting for snacks.

After that, she was offered to buy krawu rice. Arumi explained that the rice is a specialty of Gresik.

"Well, this is krawu rice, friends, do you know where krawu rice comes from? From Gresik," Arumi continued chatting with the seller, "Are you from Gresik, Ma'am? Yes, I am, I'll take five of them."

Upon arriving home, Arumi Bachsin unpacked all of her groceries. After calculating the expenses, she stated that the price comparison was much more affordable.

"So, friends, I was helped with the calculation and the comparison is really far off. That's why I said that the market is a paradise for mothers because with a fairly affordable amount of money, we can get a lot," said Arumi while holding her groceries.

"So, those who sell at the market definitely give the fairest and most just prices, and when we buy from them, it seems to be more helpful for them compared to buying from supermarkets. We are happy, and they might be happy too,"

Well, that's a glimpse of Arumi Bachsin's visit to the traditional market to buy everyday food ingredients and her husband Emi Dardak's favorite beef tongue.
