Arshan old woman
This. We just arrived, and there were many people around offering us a place in their house (this is the main occupation of the locals - Arshan is quite popular among Russian tourists). So, this woman was hanging around with a paper where she wrote "kvartira" (flat), and laughing at everybody. She looked like a very happy and a little bit crazy, but nice person.
