women selling seed oil, glad to be photographed

Chit chat on Kirghiz national drinks

juice dispenser in Osh Bazaar and is patrons

These dispenser are everywhere in Osh Bazaar, they are usually attendend by one bored girl who has nothing to do but place a glass insert your coin and there you go you are served with an absurdly sugary, weirdly colored drink, a kind of hybrid between apple and orange juice, don't try it unless you are under 10 years old, insted go for the Shoro a drink made of oat sold at road intersections, or go for the delicious mare or cow fermented milk, it is delicious, fresh, delicately fizzy, the cow fermented milk is called TAN and it is sold in bottles...

Pros and Cons

Pros:a treasure trove for hikers
Cons:not so much to do for those who prefer to walk in museums
In a nutshell:is it becoming another american "playground"?
