Greetings from New York City!I am visiting an Uzbek restaurant with an Uzbek colleague and I wanted to be more informed. Even if we don't travel to Uzbekistan, we can still experience some of the culture. Thank you for the beautiful and informative video!

[@zafarostonov2737]

As a native uzbek to be honest I am surprised how accurate your information is about us being turkic, our culture, history... Glad that it seems like you had a very good trip to our country. Hope that Tales From the Road will never end and you will visit Uzbekistan again in the future! By the way if you visit Uzbekistan in July and all the way till mid August, try to go the mountains that are like in an hour ride distance from Tashkent with its beautiful and clean mountain lakes and refreshing icy rivers. FYI: Water melon season starts mid June and after first decade of July we have a melon season. This is the best time to find out how the real melons and water melons taste like. Enjoy!!!

[@Someone-nu4bh]

I need to contact someone in Uzbekistan since I might move there for work soon. So how can I contact you or someone who may help and answer my questions. Before I reply to the school I need to make sure that I'm okay with the opportunity. !!!

[@amsterdam_uva]

We are not fully a turkic nation! Go to Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khorezm and tell me if you think we are turkic. It is the government that wants to portray the country turkic.

I visited Uzbekistan 4 months ago. It is marvelous. I loved it so much I wants to go back and spend a couple of months there. The hospitality of locals is to the next level. For history lovers this country has so much to offer. Love your vlog. Just want to see more

[@ravikhanna54]

Fully agree with your blog. All your information is spot on. After Tashkent I’m currently in Bukhara city and leaving for Samarkand tomorrow. Good luck with your travels. Btw gas is about USD 0.45 per litre all coming from Russia. Apparently U.S. sanctions don’t work here. Everything is ridiculously cheap here.

Oh man! One of my favorite countries that I’ve visited! Truly it’s hard to explain to someone who has not been to Uzbekistan how it really is….one has to see it to believe it. But kudos for doing a great job in at least doing some justice to it.

[@kevintownsend3840]

On a very serious note, I am a Black American thinking of visiting this beautiful country. Will I be welcome there.

[@sayantanbose2923]

@@kevintownsend3840 I myself as a POC never felt any discrimination there. And the people were some of the most welcoming in earth. All along the Silk Route over centuries people of various races and origins have traveled, so visitors from far of places have been quite the norm, and have been part of this inherent nature of Central Asian people to welcome their guests with whatever they have. One thing you might see, but I wouldn't take it to heart as it absolutely comes from a place of pure natural curiosity and reflects the simple, open nature of the people. A lot of locals might jump to conclusions of where you might come from. For me - people thought I was from Iran, Turkey, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Spain, Kazakhstan, etc...though I'm from India. So in your case you might have people try to guess where you are from based on their looks - so they might often refer places in Africa, just based on that. But as I said, you will see the simplicity and natural curiosity in those responses and never any discrimination...hope that helps.

Просто некоторые могут глазеть вам из-за (чисто из-за интереса ) По причине пандемии (2020-2022)здесь случайно оказались выходцы из бедных стран Африки(правда их единицы). Они тогда хотели транзитным через Узбекистан попасть в Европу,но не получилось. Так вот они нашли здесь работу(хотя многие наши сами едут работать за границу). Один из них стал менеджером одного ресторана,начинал как официант. У нас много проблем(политических,бытовых,особенно экономических). Но народ по гостеприимству и дружелюбию может считаться многим как шаблон. В Бруклине есть супермаркет "Ташкент"(узбекский). В Данный момент он самый популярный в том районе,кроме продуктов питания там более 200видов готовой еды. Сейчас многие русские мигранты в Америке жалуются что туда едут всё больше мигрантов из Узбекистана. Так как мы -узбеки намного трудолюбивые чем они,не могут они конкурировать с нами,и мы более сплочённые чем они.как то так. Приезжай брат к нам,не пожалеешь. Если есть семья приезжай с ними.

I totally agree. I have been i Uzbekistan several times and it is really wonderful. The city of Bukhara, you can feel how it must have been traveling with a caravan from Iran through the desert, finding an oasis with water and food. Coming to Samarkand the learned city where the son of Timur Lenk found of the dynasty built an astronomical observatory, 1435 ad nearly one century before Copernicus and Kepler. and the museum that shows how advanced they were. And you must visit the grave of Daniel (you know Daniel and the lions and Nebuchadnezzar ) (I say no more). I would advise a trip in spring or fall due to the desert summer climate. The market in Tashkent is marvelous..

sounds like a good idea

[@chen8934]

Uzbekistan is very safe for a woman to travel alone. Very few people speak English but learning some basic Uzbek is enough (I don't want to learn Russian - it looks too difficult), but the Cyrillic letters are here and there, so it's also helpful to learn that alphabet. I am Chinese so I know this country very well. It's famous in our history books and also the people, culture, food, languages are very very similar to Uyghurs. Maybe the only difference is that they speak Russian and do not use Arabic letters. Anything else? The people are very friendly to tourists from any country. Once I visited a mosque and the guard asked where I was from. Then he said a lot of good things about China. Then I said I wanted to Namaz here. He told me where the washroom was. Then he also led me to the room. There are not many people doing Namaz in Uzbekistan. Maybe a little more than muslims here (I live in the far east side of China). The Namaz timetable is mostly the same pronunciation as in Chinese. Maybe they were both loan words from Persian. I also visited an Orthodox church and there was a great Mass. It gave me a very deep impression because I had never seen any Orthodox church. The smell was also impressive. The people (mostly Russians) were very devoted ...
