Things you can buy on the streets of Yerevan

Keeping up with the image of an Eastern city, Yerevan in certain areas often resembles an open-air market. There are many things you can buy right on the street in Yerevan. Here are some, posted entirely for your enjoyment.

Fruit - at this time of the year mostly imported, sweets, preserves...

Toys and Christmas decorations... as well as seeds and nuts which this bundled-up grandma is selling...


Socks and underwear... a new pair of knee-highs or long jons, anyone?




Freshly baked bread...it does get cold fast in the winter, though, so you don't see this one often.

Clothing, also mostly imported by individuals from nearby Georgia and Turkey by car and train...

Combs, zippers, shoelaces, knick-knacks...

My personal favorite (and Roxy's, too) - pig heads and other body parts. Thus will your bitter end be if you are pigheaded, so beware!

No, we haven't bought one yet, and aren't planning to, either, thank you very much!
