Swipe ~ He was standing along the side of a road in Fergana Valley. When I walked up to Abdu Samad Shamsudinov, the 65-year-old father of 7 burst into a huge smile, followed by a welcoming bear hug...apparently we were the first foreigners to visit the kind village of Qipchaq in eastern Uzbekistan. We chatted a bit then before inviting us to his home he opened a small bottle of Naswar, a mild pleasure tablet, and popped one into his mouth (thanks @ferrum1996 for the corrected insight). The rest of the afternoon and into the evening was spent at his house with his family. There we were fed plov, bread and chai. Such hospitality these days in my country has faded, especially under the present administration. Gone are the day’s when someone looking entirely different, from another place on our same planet, is welcomed so openly into peoples homes, let alone country. Time is now to change such wrong perceptions of our humanity in our global need in returning to the love and kindness of our sisterhood and brotherhood. We’re all just people.

eric.from.thebronx Beautiful photos, great story. I'm looking forward to visiting Uzbekistan in a few weeks. But hospitality has nothing to do with a country's leader. America was never like this in my lifetime, not under Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton. Why must every anecdote go back to our president? I just spent three weeks in Turkey and experienced this same hospitality, and they live under a tyrant there, nothing in this regard has changed because of him. It would be great if America were more like this... But it seems immature to blame this as well on Trump.

javanoted Beautiful narrative, and photographs that have me stepping into the scene. I love the one of the ladder. It reminded me of something...words from a Drifter’s song, sung also by James Taylor, Up on the Roof. ... We are all brothers and sisters. What if we could just climb up on that roof, and find the peace that we each seek so desperately? Breaking bread together is a promising stepping stone. ?

romeac Am just back from Iran - the generosity, openness, warmth & desire for peace by the people was palpable. So many said “welcome to our country “. One young man stated “please tell the world we are not terrorists”. Hard to know how to make the world a better , more loving place but we must try.

idkhati Not long ago I read in an english magazine about an African American's experience a white populated area. The African American had lost his way. He knocked on the door of a house nearby and was greeted by the occupant with a rifle in his hand! Is that American hospitality?

akiddcenter I Pray for that day, never will I understand how we became this ignorant ugliness and the why we have this current administration. His wife whom is rallying for a Rapper to be released, seriously. I long for the days where one was raised by a village of diversity, e

deidrecorcoran Such warmth to be welcomed with a bear hug!! There is nothing like it! Love this photo; love a kind hearted human who is willing to share of themselves. Thank you for this .. and I agree. Sharing our home is sharing our heart.❤️
