Over the years of living and travelling around the world I met a lot of different people from all over the globe and every time I would introduce myself as someone from Uzbekistan, I’d hear the funniest reactions — almost everyone from almost everywhere didn’t know where — or what — Uzbekistan was — what was this long cumbersome word that few people could pronounce… Many times I had to swear it is indeed a real country ;) And many times people would actually be interested to

Probably every couple has those weird pet names they give each other. Well, nice to meet you, we are Porky and Caribou.
