No matter how comfortable and accessible modern supermarkets
are, the majority numbers of the citizen of the Turkmen capital still do
shopping at bazaars. Its natural that exotic Asian assortment from the Turkmen
fields and vegetable gardens is on sale here. Melons pomegranates, grapes,
dried fruits and vegetables are sold all year round.
Tempting
smell leads better that any guide-book to the fast food counters. Golden
pastries are fried here, juicy manty are on sale, and wonderful drink, camel
chal (fermented drink made of camel’s milk) is offered. A little further, the
smoke over braziers indicates the place where fragrant mutton shish kebab is
cooked.
The rhythm
of life at the market adds a positive tone to the human mood.
