I believe Baku is a blend of the old and new settings of traditional and modernism. As what I have learned after Azerbaijan got independence, their development has been progressing. Despite the short duration of our time in Baku for only four days, we were able to do and visited some places.

Miniature Books
This store is located in the Old City of Baku. Tons of small/mini books collected from all around the world. I find it very amusing and one of a kind collection.
It would look big in the pictures, but this is the actual size.

Baku Old City
I really enjoyed walking in the old city. It was a long walk but refreshing. I love seeing the old walls, old buildings, and houses, the clean street, park, shops, and restaurants. The city is full of characters to learn and experience.
