What the creator captured
Davud Akhundzada was deeply impressed by the hospitality and lack of pushiness in the Kurdish market, where shopkeepers prioritize trust over aggressive sales. He shared a touching moment with an 85-year-old tailor, choosing to pay 85,000 dinars to honor the man's age and decades of hard work. Ultimately, Davud successfully purchased and wore a traditional Jil Kurdi outfit to better blend in with the local culture.
