Overall, the experience in Central Asia....the mosques, markets and subway....were very, very pleasant! Much beauty to see there, too. As a young American boy at the time, I was quite naive and knew little about your culture....in fact, I don't know that I was very knowledgeable even of my own culture!!! As we age and mature, and if we're open to learning, our perspectives change. Anyway, happy that I had an uncle who was also open to new experiences!!!!!! And, also, you and Ulugbek, just being your friends, not just helped you.....helped me!!!!!
