FLASHBACK FRIDAY: GOLD-PLATED LAUGHTER WITH AN UZBEK LADY

In Bukhara, Uzbekistan, I didn’t speak Uzbek and she didn’t speak English, yet laughter is the true universal language.

She gave me a broad smile to display her gold-plated teeth.  You don’t often see someone with teeth of gold, but she says what better way to protect your teeth when you’re getting old?  The Uzbek people of Central Asia have a wonderful sense of humor.  Come with me to Central Asia this September to laugh with these Silk Road people yourself.
