What I personally liked and was a surprise: You are very clean on the streets, you can see the order, you can safely walk the streets in the evening, a thorough inspection and order at the stations, airports and metro, it's good to eat delicious and inexpensive in simple cafes. Of course I liked the national ceramics and silk.
Naletova Elena
There were interesting excursions to the ceramic workshops. Without hurrying without fuss and noise, we walked, examined, asked questions, and it seemed that we were the only guests at the master's house. We bought only small bowls for memory, it's unfortunate that big dishes would not fit in our luggage. Having visited Uzbekistan and did not see this silk, this is not a complete "silk road". To see the laborious manual labor at the marginal factory "Yodgorlik". Here you need to have patience to choose scarves as a gift - such a variety of colors and tones! But we coped with this.
Our "Silk Road" passed through the beautiful cities of Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand, Tashkent and Fergana! All cities are good in their own way, worthy of attention. And your bazaars - it's a special color: vegetables, fruits, melons, spices, dried fruits and nuts, as well as the most attractive and fragrant cakes. Your kitchen is very tasty: Pilaf! Braised lamb! Manty! Shurpa! This we will remember for a long time.

Special thanks for the hospitality and sincerity of Masharif and Rose! The warmth of their house was pleasantly amazed and was for us a complete surprise. We tried to remember and write down the recipe for cooking pilaf and even took part in it. Masharif presented us with Uzbek carpets. Sitting at a large table with Uzbek wine, pilaf and fruit, talked about a lot and listened to Rosa with great pleasure. We can confidently tell our friends that in Uzbekistan the doors are really open to the guest!
All these impressions would not be complete and not so bright, if we did not say about your sincere friendship and hospitality!
