We encountered tourists! For the first time in over two weeks, we've seen other tourists. Samarkand, and then especially ther Registan (see pic), is one of the highlights of central Asia and particularly important for religious reasons. After Mekka, one of the most important places for Muslims. Although not religious at all, I am overwhelmed by these buildings and the atmosphere that is graspable everywhere. We stay in a nice hostel, about 50 meters away from the Registan and jointly take our dinner at the hostel with other travellers. Strangely enough, these other travellers appeared to be French, all of them!
