Almost a year before, we had been to Bukhara!

We went there on a bus, and it was a pretty terrifying experience, especially for a control freak like me, as our driver was driving the bus at 100 km/h, and my foot was not on the brake pedal!

This speed might seem nothing in a light vehicle, but from the seats of the bus, situated 3 meters above the ground, the experience was something that can easily make you incontinent :))

(By the way, I once chided Firdavs for driving fast in his car when I was on the front seat, lol)

We pilgrimed to many different places, including Baha' al-Din Naqshband.

There were many ponds in Bukhara to keep the city cool because the weather of its territory was quite arid or scorching hot.

Another thing I discovered in Bukhara is its food. People there seem to eat square food as I felt I had overeaten after two Gijduvan kebabs.

As for the main language, Tadjik language appeared to be the most dominant since people around me were mainly communicating in a Persian-like language.

The whole travel was great because of the companions—colleagues and students. I still remember the tiny details of that travel.

The quest we organized around Labi Havuz despite other visitors complaining about us because of the chaos we made there still fires my brain cells from the neocortex :))

Oh yeah, I was quite scrawny back then. Sort of lanky, huh? Since then there have been good many changes, but they are a story for the next time.

Overall, it was a great travel. Soon i will be back to Bukhara. But when and why? I'll tell in the upcoming posts.
