Everything Is Available At Andijan's Eski Bazaar

In Uzbekistan, the local markets are the best places to shop. Huge, messy, busy, defiantly not just another grocery store chain outlet. Buy like they did on the Silk Road.

Behold big Eski Bazaar in Andijan.

Maybe start with a little spice and a little vegetable. You gotta get some nan bread from the beared bread man.

How are you going to cook your feast? Head to hardware and get a giant plov pot.

Don't forget the high sugar drinks. All sealed and ready for a quick purchase. A choosy shopper.

You need flour? You need flour! See this guy, he's got all the varieties.

Dioramas And Dead Things At The Andijan Museum Of History And Culture

What's a museum in Uzbekistan without a swashbuckling diorama or a parade of taxidermy? A boring museum. Hooray, Andijan's museum is definitely not boring.

Fly like an eagle. Or hawk. Or falcon. Or brown bird. Let's be safe with identifying it as some sort of brown bird.

Starting at the beginning, the Stone Age Man. Check out the mystery animal, monster, thingy that's about to emerge and attack. Rabid wombat? Moving forward in time, a depiction of a Silk Road era walled city. Love how the 2D painting does most of the 3D lifting.

More fun with 2D vs 3D. An Uzbek uprising in 1916. Basically, a mural with some columns and one and a half carts as foreground props.

Bird, perched on a massive stick jutting out of a mountain. Rats. Squeeze too hard and the stuffing pops out. And you might lose your talon. Ouch to everyone.

Shake that tail feather. With a little bush support.
