Melons
Sunday, August 6th, 2006 at 4:00 pm by BethAugust in Talas means melons. The bazaar road looks like a sea of green and yellow: big striped ones, long yellow ones, small round ones that smell like honey. Rahim ata gave me a heavy one (3 som) and showed me how to tap it: "if it sounds like a drum, no good; if it sounds like a closed door, good."
I tapped fifteen melons before I picked one. I'm told that this is normal.
The melon road. Don't ask me which one was mine.
