Panshambe market

This is the square between the main Mosque and Panshambe market. It was a slow Thursday afternoon and the place was nothing like as crowded as the weekend.

I was struck by the immense size of the bazzar hall and how how many food items were spread out

visiting Sainsburies will never be the same again.

I visited the Mosque and felt exactly the same astonishment at the inspirations of the architects builders and caretakers as at any european cathedral.

And beyond the square a load of cobblers who could i am sure fix anything.  

Classic tajik loaves 1 Somonie  (about 20pence)

a piece. tastes pretty good warm or old

Even if you dont think you want anything there is hours of entertainment to be had walking and looking
