Bajrawia - the people
The few people you'll get to meet,
Young stall holder

Abdul Haddy - a guide |
Another Abdul Haddy! who gave me an English 10pence from 1962!
Beautiful Zainab, makes these items, and very generously gave me a gift before I left.
I was trying to get this young entrepreneur to smile to the camera,
