UZBEKISTAN - culture

Sorry we haven't blogged for ages dearest readers

but we have been travelling the globe

to bring you sights 'n' delights

UZBEKISTAN!

We'd been invited by the British Council to go and do some work

to encourage and contemporarise this

and to quell the spread of this

ew

So after much hard effort in 30+ degree heat with no air con,

we managed to steal ourselves away to embrace some culture

and after many wrong turns

we travelled from the capital TASHKENT

to SAMARKAND to see the lovely mosques

amazing

i want that on my house entrance

and i want that on my ceiling

all the doors around the mosques were ornately carved

and the locks were so nice

stuff everywhere

the traditional child's cradle - above -

or the 'modern' equivalent -below-

which one for your child? shiny beautiful tradition

or scratchy fluoro netting?

this should be my door knocker, for sure!

more to follow!
