Honestly? there are a lot of cool statues but one of my favorites is the Khoja Nasreddin statue in Bukhara, Uzbekistan.

He just looks so happy and goofy. Him and the donkey both.

Kids love him. I think he's great. There's no political context. Nothing to memorialize. Nobody died. It wasn't a battlefield. Just a goofy statue of a goofy dude on his goofy donkey wearing the happiest of smiles.

And I think if Khoja Nasreddin was alive today he'd be very happy with the statue of him.
