There's nothing much like a local market in a developing country. Here, in a town called Baisejt, our tour group made a pit stop on our return from Charyn Canyon.Fruits and vegetables are still in season, so many vendors had colorful displays of apples, plums, tomatoes, melons, and much more. Just about all the vendors were on this side of the street, and the booths stretched for probably two city blocks.
There were also people selling children's toys, bread, and shashlik -- grilled skewers of meat that you can find in restaurants and at street-corner vendors all over Kazakhstan. Tasty stuff, but I haven't tried the horsemeat shashlik yet.
