I think some new photos are finally uploaded to Picasso, most are from China. If someone can please take a look and let me know, that would be great.

I am in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.  As we were headed toward my hotel, the taxi driver pulled out a very large wad of money and offered interchange some dollars for me. For some reason, there are two exchange rates here, the official one, which is somewhere around 2,375 Som to a US dollar, and the black market rate, which is somewhere around 2,500 Som/dollar. The result is that you look like a high roller, but prices are proportionate. It costs 1,000 Som for one Metro ride, for instance.
