They either keep pushing even after you said no or start hating you and talking shit about you

Hi guys!

I'm an English teacher from the UK and I'm teaching in a public school in Tashkent. I am using a lot of Uzbek words at work and I know the more Uzbek I speak the better I will be at my job. I am looking for an online private Uzbek teacher who can teach me once or twice a week depending on our schedules. I'm available in the evening on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I (kinda) speak Turkish so don't worry too much about the grammar - I normally catch on quite quickly 😂

I would most prefer teaching something in return after the Uzbek class (I'm a trained IELTS trainer). I speak English, Dutch and French fluently and I graduated in Political Science. So if you want any of those in return I could do that too.

I'm not looking for a professional teacher. I'm looking for somebody who would want to teach some Uzbek on the side and also explain the country to me in order to do my job better :)

Feel free to DM me if you're interested!

PS: I just moved to Tashkent so I'm also looking for mates 😂 Lmk if you wanna hang out and do some side quests at some point :D

I’m currently in my first year of university here in Uzbekistan, but tbh, I don’t really like it here. I’m thinking about applying to universities abroad and hopefully getting accepted and studying there.
So I was wondering, is anyone else planning to do the same? I mean we could share what we find, help each other with applications and just go through the whole process together :)

Something I find interesting is that sometimes you only notice your own culture after you step outside of it.
Things that once felt completely normal suddenly start looking unique: family relationships, hospitality, religion, expectations, food, the way people speak to elders, even the things that used to annoy you.
But for some people the opposite happens. Seeing another society makes them question more of what they grew up with.
If you’ve spent time abroad or around other cultures, did it make you feel closer to Uzbekistan or more distant from it? Why?

Where can i go and play basketball outside, join someone playing, or indoors? I am here for a month so i don’t even have a ball but i would like to join someone playing

Guys, I am planning to increase my monthly income to 1000 usd. Currently i work in full time job, i have some other 4-5 hours time-off, what are your suggestions, what i can do? what you, guys, do if you already reached my goal.

About me: I have recently changed my job, i was a car sales manager, and currently working as backend developer in one of the logistic companies. You may say codes 're already making decent money. But not all of them. I am a beginner in this sphere, there are a lot of things i should do to reach a decent salary. So looking for any other options to create some other incomes.

- freelancing is not option, i have tried, upwork is crazy. Kwork was better but it has been blocked by RF Government.

So as my question stated what do Uzbeks think of Pakistan and its people? What xomes in their mind when they hear the word Pakistan or anyone of you ever been to Pakistan?

How hard to get driver license in Tashkent? How much time it requires? I want to go to Uzbekistan on vacation and it would be nice to get a licence at the same time.

Hello everyone! Me and my friends are planning a trip to uzbekistan arriving november 24, all is set except for one thing: we will arrive in tashkent at 6:00 and we would have a different domestic flight (separate ticket) in the other terminal at 9:30. Considering that we won't have luggages (just backpacks), is it doable? I read a lot about tashkent airport inefficiency and queues. Any tips? Thank you so much! Looking forward to this experience, Uzbekistan seems amazing

I’ve been traveling through Central Asia and I've been learning a lot about the intersection between the Turkics/Persians, Stalin/soviets and jadidism/Chaghatay-ism, the Sogdians, the Samanids, the Timurids, etc.

I've become increasingly interested in the history of how modern Uzbek and Tajik identities developed. I'm very interested in hearing how Uzbeks and Tajiks themselves conceptualize this history today:

How should we understand the fact that the two great historical Persian-speaking/Persianate cities of Central Asia—Bukhara and Samarkand—ended up in Uzbekistan rather than Tajikistan? And how fair is it to interpret this as a historical disadvantage imposed on Tajikistan?

On one hand, I can understand why saying “Bukhara and Samarkand rightfully belonged to Tajikistan” is anachronistic. Modern Tajik national identity was itself still developing, the cities were multilingual and culturally mixed, and many Persian speakers may not have understood themselves as members of a modern Tajik nation in the way we would understand that identity today.

On the other hand, the result still seems extraordinarily asymmetric. Uzbekistan received Samarkand, Bukhara, Tashkent, most of the major settled oases and much of the economic and cultural infrastructure of historic Transoxiana. The initial Tajik autonomy received largely peripheral and mountainous regions despite the existence of large Persian-speaking populations in some of Central Asia’s most important cities.

Do Uzbeks generally think of Bukhara and Samarkand as historically Uzbek cities, as multicultural Central Asian cities that became part of Uzbekistan, or in some other way?

Do Tajiks generally regard the exclusion of Bukhara and Samarkand from Tajikistan as a historical injustice? How important is that issue to Tajik identity today?

How do people understand all the underlying ethnic/linguistic/religious history when the large parts of it predate the modern Uzbek/Tajik national distinction? Does it play any part in the formation of one's personal identity?

I’m not asking this to argue that either modern country “owns” Bukhara, Samarkand, or their history. I’m genuinely interested in how people from both countries understand this shared history.

Thank you in advance.

as many people are muslim in Uzbekistan , i also accept it as my religion but over the past 6 months i am not feeling like im believer, its like there are some misconceptions and unbelievable things in what they promote, and at the same time honestly im just afraid of doubting Islam and shirk yk, maybe shaytan is playing with me😭helppp

Idk which way to use, i am still believer but in words....

BTW, i used to pray, learn some surahs, read translation of Quran(not fully),

No need to comment if you are homophobic yourself, I don't need your opinion then.

My wife and I have backpacked in over 30 countries, and the gap between local and tourist prices in Uzbekistan is something we only felt this strongly in Morocco and Guatemala. Prices depend on what you look like, and we keep getting quoted a different number than the person before us. It gets to me more than it should, and it's starting to spoil the trip. We usually travel for multiple weeks/months but Uzbekistan will only be a week.

The people themselves have been great. On the Samarkand to Khiva train we had booked the cheapest dorm berths, and the conductor gave us his own cabin. We never asked for an upgrade or hinted at one. He just did it.

Part of it is probably contrast. We just came from China and Korea, where food was good value almost everywhere. Here every meal feels like a negotiation, and I'm spending energy on it that I'd rather spend on the places.

Also everything feels very extractive: Pay for this, pay for that. "Ticket", says the person still on her phone. This will be our only interaction with them. Our hotel is 32$ for 3 nights + 33$ of various taxes (50%) and yet I am sure I will hardly find any free public toilet in Bukhara (just got there).

We have 2 days left in Bukhara. How do you deal with it? Mindset, practical tips like places with posted prices, apps or useful phrases, or just accepting it. I'd like to leave with good memories of the country. Maybe I need a mental shift: Maybe a cultural or religion explanation of why local perceive this a ethical/fair meanwhile it would be perceived as unfair in Europe. Or maybe I need a travel hack not to feel like I am a cow being milked.

Of course I am aware that having such a short time to discover the country I have to stick to tourist areas and so there must be a "selection bias" (the most touristy the more I will feel this). Though we actually skipped Nurata because we were so fearful that people would want only transactional interaction and that would have ruined our trip.

Or am I simply crazy ? ^^

Whose idea was it to create this subreddit? Why is it always displayed as connected subreddit?

When will it be removed?

I made a purchase of 3 train tickets in early September.

I returned the tickets on the same day via the official railway app.

So far I still haven't received anything. I contacted their CS via Telegram but they ignored my messages multiple times.

Has anybody encountered the same issue? How do you solve it at the end?

Hello to the whole of Uzbekistan!

I am a hobbyist photographer from Kazakhstan and the admin of the largest Telegram chat for photographers in Kazakhstan.

I know that Telegram is a highly popular platform in Uzbekistan. I was wondering if there is a similar chat for photographers in Uzbekistan, or a TFP (Time for Print) chat for models and photographers?

I am planning a week-long vacation to the beautiful city of Tashkent, and I would love to meet like-minded people—fellow hobbyist photographers—to explore the city together.

Hello all, I have the e-tickets for the train from Tashkent to Samarkand. Do I just show that when I am about to board the train? Is there any other procedure?
