Flying Carpet Ba Ito?

We went to the Autumn Fair at the Exhibition Center last night. Among the lingerie, fabrics, honey, chandeliers and wood arts, Irani carpets stood out among the stall. Our living room desperately needs a carpet so I nudged hubby to ask the price of one particular carpet that caught my eye. Two thousand five hundred (2,500) was the reply. We both asked BD or AED? BD. Maaay gulaaaay???!!!! PHP 270,950!!! Flying Carpet ba ito? We both were amused and decided to pick a mediocre carpet at Home Store for less than BD100.

Anyway as roughly explained by hubby "Iran" is synonymous to "carpet" and these particular carpets are hand-woven. I promise to research more on what makes the Irani carpet expensive.. =)
