This really reminds me of the market place in Esfahan, Iran. It looks exactly like that. That little shop at the bottom right corner could be the one I bought some tea snaks in, if I didnt know this photo was taken in Syria. This is now prompting me to go check my travel savings again, to see if there is yet enough to go to Syria with. :) At least Sumatra is definately on the cards. Ticket is bougtht and paid for.
