around the world with ipuenktchen

oldieoma had the idea to go to the carpet bazar and lucky traveltoys accompanied them!! oh what a special world is the carpet bazar... men were relaxing on hills of carpets.. but if someone shows his interest to see the carpets they get busy like strong sportsmen!!!!! because many carpets are so heavy!



and they have to open each one so the client could have a glance on and showing the next one... and finally perhaps the client got tired, buying nothing and go to the next shop - and same procedure....



and here and there men are sitting and working on the carpets for different purposes..



as you know perhaps the tabriz bazar is the by far largest covered bazar of the world, and as tabriz is famous for its carpets, the part of bazar reserved for carpet is quite large, so we had a lot to see.. and we only saw a very small part of it!!!!!!



and finally ipue took photos of the entrances of the *saray* and *timtsheh* we had seen the most interesting carpets and would like to come again, so we will be sure to refind the right entrances!!!!!
