I’ve talked to several people in the past few weeks who have joked that they’d like to come visit me while I’m in Uzbekistan. At least I think they were joking. It would be great to have friends and family visit me though. When I first found out that I was going to Uzbekistan, I started looking online to learn more about the culture, food, and history of the country. One of the things that I’ve learned is that Uzbekistan is known for its wonderful food. Really, I’ve had this from many people who have visited or are from Uzbekistan.
A popular blogger named Mark Wiens recently made a video of himself visiting, and frankly, eating his way around Uzbekistan.
You can find the video on the We Love Uzbekistan Facebook page. But be warned, do NOT watch this video while you are hungry!
The British news outlet, the Telegraph, also wrote up a piece back in July of this year about why Britons should think about planning a trip to Uzbekistan. Take a few minutes to give it a read and pursue the photos of historic places such as Samarkand.
