This group included the daughter of one of the men. They offered me tea from the samovar set up on the street amidst the rubble. I accepted and sat down for a bit of rest. The Azeris often drink their tea with sugar in their teeth and grocery stores have huge sections for individually wrapped candy. I was offered some of that candy with my tea. In Azerbaijan you see a fair amount of people with gold teeth, which I surmise is the result of the combination of poor dental hygiene and this penchant for sweets. It may be getting better because young adults seem to have better hygiene... and there are many stomatology (dental ) offices around the city. The girl in this group of tea drinkers was playing with a magazine, as you can see here: http://www.kollarfoto.com/lug/2015/8/26/ds0eq7al8h0weho8yuusibupczmnzq
