Kyrgyz revolution

[merchimerch]

I don't know if anyone who reads my friends list has been paying attention to the news this week, since it's so focused on the Schaivo debacle, but there is a revolution in Kyrgyzstan, the neighboring republic. The Uzbeks who live in southern Kyrgyzstan are apparently playing a large part in this, but as of yet it hasn't effected Uzbekistan beyond the tightening of borders and a warning sent out from the embassy here in Tashknet not to travel to Kyrgyzstan (duh).

I just wanted to let you all know that things are fine here in UZ (one of the plusses of a police state). I will let you know if anything changes.

I was just wondering how long have you been staying in UZB?
