Well, I have sacrificed raiding Khorasan villages and selling their inhabitants as slaves in the Bazaars of Kiva and Bhokara; I have sacrificed looting caravans in the Kara Kum desert; I have sacrificed being attacked by a rival clan and sold into slavery myself. As paltry substitutes I have to console myself with attending performances of Hamlet and Don Giovanni; visiting the Ayasofia and the Sulimanye as well as the Ufizzi, Louvre, and Met; eating at some of the Michelin's three-star restaurants; skiing at Aspen; getting a wonderful Saryk Chuval at Sotheby's that nobody else seems to have noticed... I am really leading an impoverished life.
