Museum or Bedroom?
Think someone had jut got up when we arrived to see artifacts.

Potter at work
With his foot is kicking a weighted fly wheel round.
Takes about 5min to make ft tall vase, whole commercial process, throw, fire, painting etc.

Monastery to East of city.
Hans & Gisella from Germany, I met 3..4 places in different countries, but no email.
Big hall inside, had about 30 bodies 'in state' for 200 years or more!

Local Paracetamol !
Looks like big bowl of scorpions to me.
But if little ones bite U, poison not so strong it helps, take one a day!

Carpet weaving
For me DPI to me just setting on printer, but for these ladies to make a 2'x3' carpet it takes longer, from 6mths to 4 years for 1500 threads/inch, for $24,000 with discount.

Lutes
Even the little ones made perfect sound in right hands.

Largest Mosque in China
Think is right building, can house 10,000

Camel ride
Finnaly camel looked right way.
Liked horse better, camels wobble as they walk, both feet on one side, difinitly stayed in first gear on Lear rope.
