Off to Uzbekistan!
At long last, I will travel to one of the "stan" countries! I depart for Uzbekistan in two weeks. In July of this year, the Uzbeks made e-visas possible for citizens of the U.S. Very simple online procedure to get a tourist visa, and only $20! Way to go Uzbeks, although I am 100% against any visa regimes. But alas, I do not make the rules of the world.
Please share any insights about Uzbekistan. Where to go, what to see, eat, and so forth. Many thanks! I'm very excited about this journey...
