What happens in Central Asia STAYS in Central Asia.

The last three months I have witnessed the "closeness" that male friends have for each other over here.  It's not un-common to see two men walking arm-in-arm or standing with their arms around each other.  I admit, I was a little fearful.

And then it happened...I felt like I was in my very own Seinfeld episode.  We were walking to the market and before I could process what was happening, I was locked arm-and-arm with one of my buddies.  There we were parading down the middle of the street in plain sight of everyone...connected.

There's bound to be a positive cultural conclusion to be made about this...right?

Cultural Tidbit #53: Cacti absorb radiation emitted from computers

This is our new little Cactus that was given to us to cleanse our home of harmful radiation from our computer (hmm).

The "honey truck" makes a stop at our house today.  

So many Cousin Eddie quotes are going through my head right now :)
