Thanks for stopping by and commenting. that is true what you have heard, but i think it is no longer actual, in modern day and age. i mean, they also used to save in cash and hide it in piles of clothes at home.scaryazerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209595384194222929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545713293332836232.post-55634824228263551002012-06-18T02:35:24.561-07:002012-06-18T02:35:24.561-07:00Someone told me that the gold teeth are savings fo...Someone told me that the gold teeth are savings for when the person has their funeral. Apparently the teeth help with funeral expenses. Makes sense considering Azeris are so family oriented and would not want to burden who they've left behind with funeral costs.APSDhttp://apsd.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545713293332836232.post-29361452434270116052011-10-25T13:55:01.274-07:002011-10-25T13:55:01.274-07:00@Shafag: Thank you. :-) I have been called many th...@Shafag: Thank you. :-) I have been called many things, never an "absolute delight" though. :)))scaryazerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209595384194222929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545713293332836232.post-52521493728607435762011-10-24T05:21:09.760-07:002011-10-24T05:21:09.760-07:00Once I described you as a sophisticated and sensit...Once I described you as a sophisticated and sensitive person on my comments I've recetly made about Erovision contest under "anonymous".
