It's a fishmonger! (Maybe you were thinking, "fish mongol". I was thinking, "fish mangler".)
Poor cow. But the Chinese guy looks cuddly.
Miten noista silkkirullista vois valita itelleen jonkun kangaspalan?
Niin erilaista: täällä näkee lakanakangasta tollai riveissä ja siellä silkkikankaita! Vähä eroo kulttuurissa sanosin.
Ithink it was an evil influence of the stygian Tukish language, with all its "-ler" suffixes ...
I don't know if the silk guy is Chinese. Diegas writes that he's "local", and while the fabrics are probably imported from China, maybe the guy himself is Mongolian?
Argh, I didn't pay attention to the captions... I'm sure he's Mongolian.
