Inside the Bazaar of Hojand


In the few short hours of our stay in Hojand, I went to the Bazaar - This is a photo of the inside of the Bazaar - in the nuts section. We tried many kinds of dried fruits and nuts. The best pistachios that everyone had a hard time selling (cause they were so expensive by Tajik standards) had come from Iran - by the hands of traveling Tajiks. They did not taste nearly as good as the pistachios I had in Iran, so I felt bad that the Iranians, due to logistics, are hogging their best dried fruits and nuts.
