Erzurum, Turkey - Shoe Waving / Broken Zipper

"Mister Sarcasm" took off a shoe and waved it at me - this is a mild insult in Turkey. The formal dress of the other boy (jacket, tie, vest) was marred by a broken zipper.

 

That evening chaperoned three women to this area. Overheard someone say "That man is rich. He has three wives". Directly across from the Madrassa we were pulled into a carpet shop. One of the women was an expert on Central Asian carpets and bought several. Then they called a taxi to take us back to the hotel.
