It is the biggest city in Cantral Asia. Wide boulevards, a lot of squares with nice fountains, many nice public buildings. It is difficult to walk around all tourist attractions on foot. Take the efficient subway – it cost only 160 sum per token! Food is inexpensive here – basic “samsa” – fried bun with meat inside cost just 200 sum – for the dollar you can have 6 of them. 1 litre of coca cola cost 850 som – less the dollar.
I apply today for the visa to Turkmenistan. Their embassy is open only from 11 am till 1 pm. Can you imagine? I will wait for my transit visa one week! Awyway I pray for the positive decision – otherwise I’ll be forced to take expensive flight from Tashkent to Baku!. Keep your fingers crossed, please!
Waiting for the visa I plan to visit famous Samarkand and Bukhara…
