Bazaar!
We Americans don't have much contact with bazaars... in fact, growing up, the only "bazaars" I knew about were held at my church every year for fundraising... a Korean church bazaar was sometimes... quite.. bizarre... they sold everything from homemade dduk (rice cakes) to tacky religious t-shirts and ties....
Of course, there is also Harper's Bazaar... but anyway...
The bazaars in Uz. are definitely much more colorful and interesting, but I've always been too shy to take pictures there... so I'm glad my friend recently took these pics:
Potatoes, potatoes, and more potatoes...
The best mandarins come from Iran. I don't know HOW these bananas get here...
The bag with the "2000" sign is filled with soy beans. Next to it, to the right, is cocoa and then cornstarch.
The top bags are filled with lentils, chickpeas, buckwheat, and rice...

"Wet markets" abroad are so gross, though! All of that hanging meat, fish, flies buzzing around, bleah!
i remember going through the bazaar - definitely a memorable experience. i remember how many ladies kept pointing to tom & smiling at him, insisting that he was uz. or taj. & making eyes at him. i also remember how quickly i learned to say "my husband" in uz. & taj. language!
