Hello Steemians!

Welcome to Season 31. Our new and unique series The Curious Explorer has begun. This season, we will explore various important places, workplaces, educational institutions and service areas of the city through the eyes of a curious explorer.

Our theme this week is Small Business Stories. That is, we will visit and review small businesses in the city, such as shoe stores, electronics stores, juice shops, coffee shop, handicraft shops, etc.. Now your job is to visit any workplace in the city as a Curious Explorer and present its full experience.
