[quote=Anonymous]I posted about this on the places you did not like thread….but I went to Uzkbelhistan in the 90s to see Samarkand and Bukhara.  Due to hyoerinflation and shortages, they could not purchase fuel for our return flight.  So they said when they got fuel, they would give us 1 hour notice of the plane leaving.  We moved to an awful hotel near the airport so we coup get there in time.  I had the choice of a room with no lock on the door or one where the bathroom had no light and the toilet only flushed if you poured a bucket of water in it.  I then promptly got something I call the Uzbekh measles.  High fever, large red itchy spots all over my body, and diarrhea.  I felt so awful.  You couldn’t even get like a sprite or saltines there.  One of my friends found me an electric green bottled sweet drink (labeled “Beverage”) to at least keep me hydrated. We were there days.  I lost count.  We finally took a bus to tashkent and by then I was feeling at least better enough to sit on the bus.  I remember we stopped at the border and I bought a pepsi.  Best f—ing Pepsi ever.

There were other awful things about that trip including being arrested on false pretenses for a bribe and being assaulted in the marketplace. [/quote]
