The staple of Xinjiang, China, naan can be seen anywhere the Uyghur lives. Much like the baguette in France, I saw people carrying naan everywhere. Because of the dry air, naan can be kept for a long time without going stale, best for long distance traveler, like me, to always have a naan around. And they are cheap, cost about 2-3 Yuan ($0.30-$0.50) a piece.
A stack of naan can be the gift for baby shower or visiting friends. For me, they do taste good, but after 3 days, some of them turned to be very hard or chewy, I have to worry about chipping a tooth, now that would be a very expensive naan.
