Beatings, Banquets, and Bus Rides in a Far Eastern Tour
A travelogue from an expedition recounts discovering ancient gold hidden in a Tashkent cellar guarded by a red door. The group samples local fare at a lunch stand sponsored by Coca Cola, tours a massive lemon greenhouse, visits the Uzbekistan Museum of Science and Industry, and attends a Peace Park ceremony. The diary notes a mix of meals, gifts, and official dinners before moving from Tashkent to Moscow and Norilsk, with delays due to fog and a long overnight ride. The narrative closes with plans to reach Dickson, Siberia.
