Taro is headed to Uzbekistan tomorrow for two months. The CIA World Factbook states that "Current concerns include terrorism by Islamic militants, economic stagnation, and the curtailment of human rights and democratization.". Hmmm. Sounds kind of unpleasant and dangerous, but I hope he has a good time.
His mission amid the turmoil: to start up a tile exporting operation. Check out his blog to hear all about his experiences in this distant country. Stay safe, and see you in the Fall...

Good thing he ain't got a US passport. US passports are no bueno.

Indeed. Personally, Uzbekistan is not a place where I would want to go for any reason.

Why Uzbekistan? Do they have some sort of kryptonite-laden floor tiles that imbue the person who walks upon them with special powers? Or is he just high? I hope he stays safe and prospers...

Thank you all. I'll try my best to find a new wife there.
