Typical Bazar Trip

Going to bazar is more than just a shopping trip. Its an experience that stimulates all the senses. You see more than you think your eyes could all in a fast paced setting, you hear the sounds of thousands of shoppers, vendors, shop-keepers, cars, and music. You stop for milkshakes, juices, cokes, pastries, and custard to refuel, and with things being so inexpensive, even the shopper with not very much money can have a wonderful trip.
Many shop owners take close shop around 1 or 2 to go home and eat or take a nap. They are all usually back by 4. The most croded and busy time for bazar is around 5 or 6 PM.
This is one of our typical bazar trips.

We drove our own car here so we arrived early so we can get a spot at a parking garage, with bazar being so crowded there isnt much room for many of them. This is a typical parking garage:

This was an electronics store, full of ipods, phones, DVD's, CD's, high quality headphones, and much more. The shop owner went home for his midday break, and this is how he closed shop..with a broom,and nothing else:

This is one of the many bakeries, the bread comes out of the over and onto this table, very fresh:

Stopping to eat balava on top of custard, very delicious combination:

Our favorite street food is Kalan, which is chopped green onions in this flaky naan lathered with butter and sometimes sugar. They have a naan grill right on the cart to grill it with, so its super fresh:
