GDP is a nice number, nevertheless - do we have any data on how many families (even in which regions) are critically dependent on a foreign income? #Tajikistan #Uzbekistan #Kyrgyzstan #remittances

What a great kickoff between @unikarlova.cuni.cz and #Termez university, #Uzbekistan. So far archaeology was the main discipline; hopefully more opportunities will emerge also for our contemporary @fsv.unikarlova.cuni.cz! Also, best plov in Prague.

Dear #CentralAsia hive here, I have question of utmost importance. Based on your experience, how much Kokand halva can I bring from #Uzbekistan to the EU without arousing someone's suspicion or having to fill out customs declarations?

Never stops surprising me how casually are we now talking about mass deportations and displacements. Where did our (at least verbal) "never again" go?

Last time I was in #Berlin, we lost an hour being stuck at Sudkreuz because “the train was too heavy to go”. Some passengers took that personally back then; hopefully, today we will do better.

Many of my friends and colleagues are disappointed, dismayed or frightened by what we have seen in the US. Terrible indeed, but we shall overcome. In the meantime, let me remind you - there is still good in this world. And there is plov too, just in case anyone needs it today.
