UZBEKISTAN - markets


So Uzbek markets are hot, buzzing,
and require good knowledge of the language,
in order to barter the prices down.
Luckily we had an amazing translator
who not only did the yakking, but also did all the buying,
so we paid as close to 'local price' rather than 'extortionate tourist price'
(nothing has a listed price)


beautiful hand embroidered wedding jackets

we are the earth intruders
we are the sharp shooters
looks like Bjork picked up her Volta costumes here

'foreign rugs' - Spiderman, or Marc Almond?


The national mascot - en masse

some lovely brushes nicely displayed

odd plastic money boxes
and some lovely rugs, but alas too heavy to bring back to London!
