Silk Road travel:
On our way to Khorog in Kuhistoni Badakhshan we were joined by this nice Tajik Taxidriver in a chaikhana for lunch. If he looks like an Afghan to you, be told that Northern Afghanistan is inhabited by Tajik Afghans. We had a discussion in Pantomimic with him. In his back you see his taxi, a Russian-built "Kamas" (Abkürzung für Kamski awtomobilny sawod) with the licence plate of Dushanbe. While he had plov and Tajik bread we had dumplings (in Tajik called Manta) as you can see on another picture in the workshop area. Why talk about food here on TE: well, we bicyclists were often hungry!
