Journal Entry 1 by hendertuckian from Henderson, Nevada USA on Sunday, March 18, 2007

Selected for Olympic Challenge Uzbekistan and goes to Hobbit when finished. This was like a State of the Union address and I'm glad I read it because we have forgotten what it is like to start a country from scratch.

Journal Entry 4 by hobbit from Surabaya, Jawa Timur Indonesia on Friday, May 23, 2008

It took me quite a while to read this as it sometimes felt a little bureaucratic and stilted, but with awkward wordings like sentence fragments that caused me to re-read several times to try to get the meaning. I agree, though, it was good food for thought and gave me some insight into the difficult position of trying to start a new country with a radically different structure from the previous government. It also pointed out some interesting things about Uzbekistan that I hadn't really paid attention to - for example, it is landlocked with no ports.

I sent this off today to Sheepseeker, who will pass it on to blackwidow, who may pass it on or whatever when she's done.

Thanks for sharing and sending the book, hobbit! 

Journal Entry 6 by Sheepseeker from Bonn, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany on Tuesday, June 17, 2008

This has been the only non-fiction book I read for the Olympic Challenge.
It's been an interesting read - all the more since things have changed dramatically in that region shortly after the book was published. The writing style was a bit of a challenge at times, but I think that's mainly due to the translation.

Thanks for sharing the book with us! I'm now waiting for blackwidow1971's address...

On its way to blackwidow1971 since June, 21st.
