Sweets

In the marketplace at Station Square (ვაგზლის მოედანი) in Tbilisi, Georgia.

This place is so huge and so incredible that I spent hours there every day and never got tired of just looking around. There were dozens of stalls like this - with cookies, biscuits, chocolates, candies, Turkish delight, jellied fruits, and pastries - each one seemingly identical and all packed together. And of course there isn't just food: moving downstairs, there are stalls of kitchen wares, glass, copper, and crystal trinkets, school supplies, toys, books, clothing...pretty much everything.

I still can't decide if this was fortunate or unfortunate, but during one visit I attempted to buy 3 small eclairs, but m Georgian failed me and I wound up buying 3 lari worth of eclairs - about two pounds.

Thankfully, a lady in a nearby stall noticed my fluke and politely informed me that she was fluent in English if I ever needed help.
After that, she was my go-to confectionery lady in Tbilisi.
