Sights of our City

Here are a few pictures of around our city. These pictures were taken by my mom when she was here. Sometimes I don't always feel comfortable taking a ton of pictures around town, because I don't want to stick out like a tourist, but my mom had no inhibitions to take a few, because she was a tourist! She even got some people to pose for the camera.

A picture near our downtown area:


A picture at a local bakery. A ton of bread is eaten in this country, so they make lots of these loaves each day:


Our city is full of little shops and small markets similar to this:


A fruit and vegetable market:


A small shop: (looks like their specialty is brooms!)


These men are selling onions and potatoes:


These bicycle carts are a common sight here. In this picture the man is riding through our apartment complex selling onions from his cart. He yells very loud so that it can be heard in our apartment, "The onions have come!". I've yet to run down and buy any.


Another man riding his bicycle cart. They are often used for selling produce and hauling large items around town. You can also pay these men to haul something for you.
These men are working on the sidewalk in front of this shop.
