RE: A Walk Through Tbilisi's Bazaar

in Worldmappin6 months ago

The funny thing about weapons is how easy they are to buy off the street here at the other market. It quite literally is a street market in which people just lay out whatever they want on the ground over a little bit of fabric. It doesn't just relate to little daggers but actual swords. Guns however, I don't think I've seen those available. Rather little things from the Cold War like gas masks and such.

I do want to return to that one before I leave Georgia, it has some genuinely fascinating pieces of history up for grabs. There are even war trophies that people picked up from World War 2: Nazi hats, pins with the swastika, etc. Also various items from the USSR. Never seen anything like that so casually on sale. As Indiana Jones would say: those things belong in a museum! ;^)

I totally agree, those things are museum stuff! But yes, if you have the chance to go again and buy something it would be great!
