Silk Production in Ferghana Valley

The day after we left Tashkent, we all took hari-raising taxi rides to the Ferghana valley (because the truck for some reason couldnt travel on the same road, and had to detour through Tajikistan randomally). Ferghana is famous for silk production, which is highly valued across the world but only produced in this valley. We had an interesting tour through an traditionalsilk factory, following the production from start to finish.

Of course, it would have been absurd to have left the valley without a souvenir, so was persuaded to buy a dark blue silk scarf ("twist my rubber arm").
