点评:We visited Urgut Market on. Saturday. I was disappointed because I’d read that Sunday was best for suzani and vintage textiles. No need to worry. Go through the main entrance gate, fight your way through the crowd, straight down the main “alley” of traders until you reach the end. Suzani will be spread down an alley to your left. Take cash. Dollars preferred, but they have me straight up exchange for s’om, too. No one accepts cards. Don’t bother changing dollars at the gate. All the dealers I dealt with accepted dollars and s’om, and I paid a couple in both currencies.
If you buy something or indicate you are serious , be prepared to have people take you buy the hand or arm into their shops. I am astonished at the friendliness, and am almost embarrassed at the deals I got. I got six Suzani, including one that appears king-size and a couple others that are (American) twins, plus three that are a meter or so squared. I paid well under $250 total for all six. Vendors literally started throwing them at me and yelling $45! $35 discount! When I asked to buy two they came down a little more. I am just super disappointed our tour company only allowed an hour. It’s a ten minute walk to fight your way down to the textiles and ten back. I was so frenzied I didn’t have time to look, and there were temptatious vintage yurt hangings, needlepoint prayer rugs, and decor I would have loved to have gotten my paws on.
Also, if you like rhinestones, look for the shops on the left about halfway down and be prepared to be dazzled by the sparkling stock. Photos don’t even do it justice. It left me speechless.
翻译:我们星期六参观了乌尔古特市场。我很失望,因为我读到星期天最适合买苏扎尼和古董纺织品。不用担心。穿过正门,挤过人群,沿着商贩的主要“小巷”一直走到尽头。苏扎尼就分布在你左边的小巷里。带现金。最好用美元,但他们也让我直接兑换苏扎尼。没有人接受卡。不用在门口换美元。我打过交道的所有经销商都接受美元和苏扎尼,我用两种货币付了几张。
如果你买东西或表示你是认真的,准备好让人带你去他们的商店买手或手臂。我对他们的友好感到惊讶,对我得到的交易几乎感到尴尬。我买了六张苏扎尼,其中一张看起来像特大号,还有几张是(美国)双人床,还有三张一米左右见方。我总共花了不到 250 美元买了这六件。小贩们开始向我扔钻石,大喊 45 美元!35 美元折扣!当我要求买两件时,他们降价了一点。我非常失望,我们的旅游公司只给了我一个小时的时间。要走十分钟才能走到纺织品区,再走十分钟回来。我太疯狂了,没有时间看,那里有诱人的老式蒙古包挂饰、针织祈祷毯和装饰品,我真想亲手买下来。
另外,如果你喜欢水钻,可以在半路上左边找找商店,准备好被闪闪发光的库存所迷惑。照片甚至不能反映它的真正魅力。它让我无话可说。
