Samarkand isn’t as big as Tashkent, but it’s just as beautiful. The weather in Samarkand is not as hot as in Termez. The food is as delicious as anywhere in Uzbekistan. And the people are as friendly as people in my home town. Bukhara is almost as old as Samarkand – both are more than 2,500 years old!

Kichik matn: “Ikki aka-uka”

My brothers, Sardor and Dilshod, are very different, but in some ways they are as similar as two drops of water. Sardor is twice as old as Dilshod — he’s twenty, and Dilshod is ten. Dilshod is not as tall as Sardor yet, but he’s growing fast. Sardor studies as much as he can because he wants to become a doctor. Dilshod doesn’t study as hard as his brother — he prefers football! But they both eat as much as an elephant. My mother always says, “You two are as hungry as wolves!”
