The Food of Uzbekistan

Posted on January 19, 2023January 21, 2023 by KK

I am a lover of food and I ate a lot of Uzbek food while traveling around the country. Hands down, my favorite is PLOV but the rest, I also enjoyed very much and I did not have a bad meal! I had a lot of other food not posted here but I didn’t get…

Samarkand, Uzbekistan

Posted on January 19, 2023January 21, 2023 by KK

A train ride took me from Bukhara to Samarkand – from the train station, a taxi ride to my hostel where my roommate was a jolly Aussie guy who spoke fluent Russian due to family heritage. (Was definitely great to be out and about with him as he chatted up the Russian-speaking elderly Uzbek taxi…

Bukhara, Uzbekistan

Posted on January 18, 2023January 21, 2023 by KK

I think the main attraction for me in Bukhara was checking out “The Ark”, a fortress apparently occupied from the 5th century until about 1920 when it was bombed by the Soviets. The wooden pillars that held a lot of the place up together showed its age, in comparison with say, a lot of the…

An early 2-hour flight from Tashkent, across desert, took me to the capital of the Karakalpakstan region, Nukus. I knew there wasn’t much to do here – it was desert-hot and dry – but every desert sometimes has a rose and the Igor Savitsky museum of art would be that rose. Although I am not…

Tashkent, Uzbekistan

Posted on February 1, 2021January 21, 2023 by KK

I used the capital, Tashkent, as a launching point for my travel in Uzbekistan – it’d have to be where I enter and where I exit the country – as there are no other international airports that’d take me to my next planned destinations. When faced with one entry+exit point in the past, I’ve been…

The Road to Samarkand

Posted on January 29, 2021February 3, 2021 by KK

When I was a kid, I read a children’s story about a place called Samarkand. What we know of Aladdin’s or Ali Baba’s world, Samarkand was a place like that – an important stop along the famous Silk Road where tales of mystique and adventure could be had. But we don’t live in that world…
