Bokhara Journey Reveals Central Asia Life and Theater
Father Georges Bissonnette describes a six hour train ride to Kagan Bokhara with militia, soldiers, and a vodka laden camaraderie. He details Bokhara markets rugs mosques and a theater visit where locals spit at the visitors and a riot erupts in a first class restaurant. He notes the Great Mosque converted to a warehouse and a seminary teaching future imams in Soviet Central Asia. Tomorrow promises a night in a railroad station.
