A TOUR GUIDE’S STORY
As a third-year student, I was taking a couple of English-speaking tourists for a walk around Samarkand. We were passing by «Институт каракулеводства (Korakulchilik Instituti)» and I said, ‘This is the karakul sheep breeding institute’. The tourists looked at each other in surprise. Then one of them politely asked me: ’Sorry, but why would you need such an institution here where there’s no sea?’ Another said: ‘I just wonder why is a dockyard called an institute?’
