Uzbekistan aka: Ozbekiston

been to Tashkent and Samarkand..Tashkent is my home town…. i LOVE, LOVE LOVE it there and want tooo go back soo bad

Earlier this year I had read about a city called Samarkand, and how it used to be a rather large metropolitan staple in central asia. This intrigued me, and I figured that one day I would very much like to go there. Later, I actually met a handsome young man from Uzbekistan, developed a crush on him, and now have even more of an interest in going. From what I hear, it’s a diamond in the rough, and if you want real experiences apart from the touristy places in the world, that Uzbekistan is a nice place for that. Perhaps within the next few years I’ll end up going?

Samarkand, Bukarah, and Tashkent. I rode the camel outside of Bukarah. I’d like to go back and visit Khiva and a few other small towns in the east.

Just saying that you’ve been to Uzbekistan is worth it – and it really is. There are amazing buildings there, incredible old mosques, really interesting politics, beautiful people, a crazy metro system in Tashkent that has to be seen to be believed… I’ll never forget it. Go there. It’s cheap and safe, more or less.

but you gotta ask me :0)
