One of my friends recently arrived in Uzbekistan for a two year assignment with the State Department, and I have an open invitation to visit the country. I know very little about this place, but it looks quite colorful and interesting. Do any of my readers live here? What to see and do? I think it's too hot to visit during summer months, but maybe early autumn is a good time. If anyone has contacts with local tourism boards or agencies, I would be grateful for information. The Uzbek government appears to have an official tourism portal
here, but emails have gone unanswered. I will likely need the assistance of locals if I journey to the region.
