Dordoi Bazaar is one of the, if not the largest, markets in Central Asia. You can find almost anything you want there, except what we went to find, which was one of those baby carriers that you wear. They call them Kangaroos here, which makes perfect sense if you think about it.
Dordoi is unusual, if not unique, in that it is largely composed of shipping containers. Yes, those big metal boxes you see on the docks in Jersey or during the second season of The Wire.
In this first picture, it's not that obvious
BUT if you look here, you'll see how the entire market is constructed
Those doors will swing open and turn into shops.
It seemed like the market was divided into long alleys selling themed goods - e.g. one entire alley had stuff for kids - toys, clothes, strollers. Another alley, which we did not get a good pic of, was all track suits. We even saw a track suit with built in hijab.
Here are a couple more pics from around the bazaar
