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!!!

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!

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

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 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.

There are also many Uzbeks, but it is good to have a guide to take you to the wonderful, historical places and give information about them.😊

Great video! I totally agree with your advice and recommendations. I hope more Westerners are inspired to visit there, it is truly a unique and wonderful country.

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..

A most interesting and vibrant place, nice content.

All the major tourist sites have "tourist police" hubs staffed with people who speak English perfectly. All that said, you need to be cautious as you would anywhere. After a day of walking I usually collapsed into bed early and didn't go out much at night.
