Stephen,

Could you comment, either publicly or privately (my email is included in my registration) on what sort of receptions Westerners, especially Americans, can expect in Uzbekistan? I'd like to visit these coutries in case circumstances arise when they can't be visited in the future. Inshallah, they will remain open or become more open and progressive. If this is not your area of expertise, please feel free to forward my email to a colleague who might be able to help.
