Pictures from the Markets



 Tongi Market:

We spent a great portion of the day buying spices from this booth. It took a good portion of the day because we spoke no Bengal and he no English.



Chiles anyone?


Working hard or hardly working?

Found this gem of a place after a day of shopping- a new Arabic restaurant that serves delicious Mocha's.

This is one of the antique shops we visited during our first Gulshan visit. There was at least 10 of these antique shops in a somewhat 'strip mall' fashion. We visited nearly every one. 



Pearls are an amazing production here; they are unfortunately farmed but you can buy them almost anywhere. At these stores you pick the type and strand length and they make them for you. The pearls are natural in their many colours- different color of foods are fed to the oysters to produce the magnificent shades.
