    My parents and I had a...

    My parents and I had a great experience with Bekjon! He took us to the butcher and the grocery store near his village, then brought us back to his family home to make the plov. It really felt like being welcomed into someone's family--we met his mother, his wife, and his nephews and made some delicious plov! He told us all about Uzbekistan and Uzbek traditions, and we shared some music on the way home. It was great to get off the tourist path a little bit and see someone's real life and home.

    Culinary and cultural enrichment 😀

    Superb moment spent with Bekjon who, in addition to sharing his plov recipe with us, taught us a multitude of things about his country and life there throughout the activity. It was a great enrichment for the whole family. He is also very pleasant and eager to make this time as enjoyable as possible. Thanks again😀
