Historically, Andijan was an important city on the Silk Road, dating back to the 7th and 8th centuries.The city is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Babur who, following a series of setbacks, finally succeeded in laying the basis for the Mughal dynasty in the Indian Subcontinent, And, get this, Baburs’ father was also Genghis Khan.
William, Captain Banana, Sammy and Jirachai enjoyed Amirs’ Andijan Palace as Captain would spend hours teaching them about the idiosyncrasies of the French wearing white powdered wigs and punching each other with padded fists, while William yearned to redecorate their room, as the place, to his taste, was way too spartan. Lack of the usual domestic extravagance was pivotal to the decision to move west and explore more of the silk road. So long Brother Amir.
