Uzbekistan

Iran

Back in the years 2006 and 2007, I managed a company where we decided to set-up an assembly production facility in Teheran, Iran. This meant a few trips to the capital of Iran. I unfortunately did not have time to see anything of this supposedly beautiful country filled with amazing architectural sites. The few shots are from a mobile phone hence the poor quality. There is a trip penciled in my travel-plans hopefully in the not so distant future. My main takeaway from these trips are the hard-working, dedicated and friendly people.

this was the second leg continuing along the "Silk-road" route. Back in 2011, the Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan) was covered. This time it is Tadzhikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkministans' turn. Coming into Uzbekistan over the Fan mountains and Tajikistan. In short we managed to cover Samarkand, Bukhara in addition to Tashkent, the capital. In short - wow - Uzbekistan minus the corruption must be the most see-worthy in all of the Central Asian countries. The country is absolutely packed with ancient sites.
