People and Bazars of Uzbekistan

Throughout Uzbekistan I met some wonderfully friendly people, children and market sellers wanting photos taken, people in cafes insisting I go join their table, train neighbours offering tea and food, bus drivers and passengers wanting to know all about what you are doing there, people in streets stopping to talk to you just because you are foreigner, others because they want to speak English with you, stall vendors also just wanting to chat, people wantingto tak eme to night clubs.... all kinds, certainly a very warm and friendly people. Here are a few photos of some of my favourites and some of the wonderful bazar stalls I encountered on my way:
