...that I couldn’t get in the “real” world:
- that “bull-shit” is a real word in the Uzbek (er Tajik?) language
- that the pit is preferable over a dysfunctional flush toilet
- that you can cool your Coke bottle under a running tap
- that you get paid for dancing without having to take your clothes off
- that people do eat sheep’s ass, and eyes, perhaps even at the same time
- that I’m still considered a virgin at 37 (bc I’m not married)
- that you can cook rice in a gallon of oil
- that you can fit 20 people in a 10 person van
- that language teachers are the most adored people on earth
- that drinking copious amounts of vodka could be so life altering
- that you can speak three languages in one sentence
- that you can live on a $1 a day
...more to come on two and a half weeks of whirlwind through Chodak-Tashkent-Nukus-Bukhara-Tashkent…
