It's a fishmonger! (Maybe you were thinking, "fish mongol". I was thinking, "fish mangler".)
ReplyDeletePoor cow. But the Chinese guy looks cuddly.
Miten noista silkkirullista vois valita itelleen jonkun kangaspalan?
ReplyDeleteNiin 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 ...
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteArgh, I didn't pay attention to the captions... I'm sure he's Mongolian.
