For several years 'Stadion 10-lecia' (the 10th Anniversary Stadium) in Warsaw was the site of an enormous market ('Jarmark Europa'), with traders from Asia, Africa and East Europe representing different nationalities, languages, religions and customs. The author discusses primarily two groups of the 'protagonists': the Vietnamese and the Africans, and upon the basis of observations and conversations proposes a 'thick description' of the examined phenomenon.
