UZBEK MAN IN CHAPAN AND KALPAK
Uzbekistan 2012
An Uzbek patriarch is lost in thought as he leaves the animal market. Maybe he is mentally adding up his profits and losses. Adding up in Uzbekistan takes concentration. At the present, the exchange rate is nearly 3000 Uzbek som to the U.S. dollar.
A GOOD DAY AT THE MARKET
Mother and daughter pack up the family’s earnings after selling their cattle at the market. There were booths selling food and shots of vodka. Their men might have gone to celebrate. Luckily, the women are the money managers.
