English term or phrase: A kind of door
Greetings,

Rather embarrassingly I don't know the English name of this kind of door – it consists of a doorway with about 50 strings of beads hanging downwards from above the doorway. The strings of beads are next to one another so you often can't see the other side. This kind of door is very common in Yenifoça - it's quite trendy, the sort of thing it's thought tourists might like?

Of course, it's very different from a traditional door - perhaps "door" isn't even the right word. When you go through it you don't deliberately open anything, the strings of beads or whatever just give way to you without any force.

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon
