You're the host? May I ask where you're from? I ask only because I have a hobby of trying to guess people's accents, and although you _look_ like you could be from central Asia yourself (maybe Kazakhstan) your _accent_ definitely says otherwise. It sounds like your native language is an east Asian one, but you learned English at an early age in...Australia? I can't really guess at your native language, because it's just too obscured by (what seems like?) the Australian accent. How close is my guess?
Oh, and I'm going to a venture a guess that your native language is an Austronesian one, maybe Malay or Indonesian. (It's the way you pronounce "s" sounds that makes me guess this.)
Haha you are quite spot on. I am originally from Indonesia although I left the country in 2016 to pursue long term travel. My English has been self-taught but I have never lived abroad until recently as I got married to my British husband and relocate to England in 2022. Regarding the Aussie accent, I use to date an Aussie for 2.5 years so I guess it influenced the way I speak haha. Thanks a lot for watching!@@hadronoftheseus8829
@@SyifaAdriana If you learned English as an adult, I'm very impressed! Aside from the accent, your fluency is almost like a native speaker. By the way I watched about five of your videos the other night. You go to a lot of out of the way places I know almost nothing about but have always been curious about. (No one in the U.S. talks abut the Caucasus or the Balkans unless there's a war there.) Oh, and you seem like a very likable and charismatic "host" or "guide" or whatever the most fitting term is. 😊
I think Central Asia is the hidden gem of the world. I genuinely recommend Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan as these as extremely fascinating countries.
Hello Syifa, you are doing a great job enlightening us about the true beauty of the central Asia. I have never been to Tashkent but I have realized that it is a beautiful, well-organized, very safe city. Just amazing!
Hello, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I personally think Tashkent is missable city as generally attractions are far more interesting in cities such as Samarkand, Bukhara or Khiva. I personally prefer Bishkek and Almaty for bigger cities in Central Asia but given that Tashkent was the capital city of Soviet Central Asia, the metro stations were far more interesting to look at :D
You forgot to mention why the city was rebuilt in Soviet times... There was a huge earthquake in Tashkent in 1966 and approximately 30% of the buildings completely collapsed and an unknown number was damaged and had to be rebuilt form scratch as well.
I am an Uzbek from the North of Afghanistan. Really like your videos. You provide a lot of interesting information while showing the cities which make your videos unique in its own way.
Very educational. Such beautiful and amazing architecture and city. The videos and commentaries made this vlog very enlightening. Thank you Syifa for bringing us along to another place that I could only dream to visit in this lifetime. Enjoy, keep safe, and keep on!
Thank you so much, Romy. Glad to hear that you enjoyed watching this video and my commentaries. Best wishes and I hope to be able to show you more of the world through the videos I create.
This is from Bangladesh. This is a great introduction to Central Asia, enjoying every bit; great videography. Perhaps you could include some local persons maybe travel guide who would know more about the place. . it is enjoyable anyway. Thanks
You inspired me to visit Minsk and I’m flying out to Belarus 🇧🇾 next week. I’m also visiting Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 along the way since I have a layover. I’m doing a day tour of Tashkent. Thank you for sharing these videos.
Sofiya Hotel is also nice and reasonably priced. on main tashkent... centrally located.. also has a very nice eatery where you can try Somsa, Lov, and also have the local brew... all in all a fantastic place to visit... you will need a water bottle .. cuz the aint no bum gun here.. which is o bit discomfitting.. rest is all great!. make sure you go to Chorsu... great stiuff there. and visit some mosques and museums. have fun!
Thank you, Syifa, for another great tour of this amazing part of the world. A few years ago I was impressed by the metro stations in Moscow but Tashkent's look much better!
@@azharidris7092 Yes, I agree, but while very impressive, like baroque palaces, some of the Moscow stations I felt were just over done, though of course that didn't stop me taking dozens of photos of each one we visited . 😀 whereas those in Tashkent seem more open and light-filled.
Amazing tour from this part of the world. Beautiful city with culture and an interesting architecture of the local buildings, especially the metro stations look amazing. Thank you Syifa for your wonderful presentation.
Hi Syifa Thank you for informative video. As someone who is from Uzbekistan that lives abroad it was nice to see my homeland from your RUclips channel. Best of luck.
Glad to hear it Glenn. You wont be disappointed as any countries in Central Asia are fascinating. I personally loved Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan as it was more mountainous than the dessert like Uzbekistan and flat land of Kazakhstan :D
SYIFA : the more i see you , i wonder what you are made of ! the courage , the dedication and the passion to travel and film for the people who have never been to these countries needs a huge strength ! how you do as a young woman is a daunting task ! you are amazing ! i have no words to describe you .

@@peterleo16 Ahaha sorry Peter! My comment was in Portugese as I was responding to someone else. I agree with you I actually really liked that Hotel Uzbekistan as it’s considerably a brutalist architecture commonly found throughout Post Soviet countries. This architecture actually started in the post war United Kingdom before it spread throughout Soviet Union.
Hello Syifa, loved your video of Tashkent! I saw a few of the sights that I remembered from my 2005 trip. I was there coincident with the Uzbek national day, and there was a parade, and we all queued up to lay down flowers at the Amir Timur (Tamerlane) monument that you also showed. There were very strict restrictions about photography. Every group had an interpreter/guide and a secret policeman with them at all times. We weren't allowed to leave the hotel without them. Pity you didn't get to Samarqand - that's where I spent most of my time in UZ. The music festival to which I went was in Samarqand and there the rules were applied more losely and we had more freedom of movement. The whole trip was a fantastic adventure. Looking forward to your next video!
Hello Diz, thank you so much for your comment. I can't imagine the strict restrictions back in 2005 in Tashkent as I personally think Uzbekistan has the most human rights violence in comparison to Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. I would go to Samarqand and Bukhara but I will cross the border into Tajikistan first before heading back into Uzbekistan as I aimed to experience the once-a-week Tashkent-Dushanbe train hence the back and forth travel. What was your impressions of UZ and KZ since you have been to both countries?
@@SyifaAdriana Photo restrictions were: no photos of any official persons (police, soldiers, other officials) or any official buildings. Everything else was OK to photograph. The one major thing was, that nothing happened on time. They said, gather in the hotel foyer at 10. Everybody was there, but the buses arrived only 2, 3 hours later. So after a few days, we started to ask: 10 o'clock 'real time' or 'Uzbek time'? We didn't go into Tajikistan, and only cut across a corner of Kazakhstan by bus. We weren't allowed to leave the bus, though.
I appreciate your courage to go to less touristy places. That shows how passionate you are about making travelogues. I would like to visit Central Asian countries in the future.
Elisabetta, thank you so much for your lovely comment.

I travel extensively as well all over the world and really enjoy your videos…so much to learn One small thing though…when you go from place to place and sometimes (as with Tashkent) the place names are lets say a bit difficult it would really help and be easier to follow if you could show that name written out for a few seconds (as many do) Keep up the good work
@@larssoderstrom1666 Thank you so much, Lars! I truly appreciate your kind comment and will definitely keep your feedback in mind for a future reference when editing the next travel videos.
Hello thank you so much for your comment. I am not so sure if I have visited your office as I have never been to Kolkata. Are you are that you are referring to the same person?

Im going in Nov and this video definitely give me an idea of what & where. Im into metro station decoration as well, when I was travel to Stockholm, I did metro station hoping just to admire the beauty. Thanks so much for this absolutely wonderful video. ❤
it seems like people only know Uzbekistan only because of MW, but I knew about it cause of me finding it on a map. it's a great country with very friendly people!
Although you made a good job visiting the metro stations you missed the kukaldash madrasah and baroqkhon madrasah both of which are from the xvi century. However it was good to watch your honest review!
many youtuber has posted vdo of uzbekistan but you showe it differently by taking us on tour of underground railway stations. thy are really beautiful and your way of describing is as beautiful as your beauty
Thank you for helping me to visit distant places of this world through RUclips sitting in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Hope I can travel to these beautiful places in the coming years...
Dear Syifa, i have to say you look abit tired. Is it because of your previous illness..? Stay healthy and take care. This Central Asia series is one of my favorites after your travel videos from Bellarusia and Albania years ago. I always feel amazed when i saw the Soviet legacy in the past. Are you planning to explore Russia one day..? I cant wait to see it. For someone who cannot travel so often like me, watching your videos always brings me happiness. Lots of love and may the universe taking care of you wherever you are.
Hello Sonya, yes I was probably mentally exhausted at this point as well as it had been quite intense few weeks of travel filming :) I had an ambitious plan for my Central Asia travel as I intended to explore Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan and I am glad I did. There will be 4 more videos from this region. Hope you'll like it!
Only a very few good things were done by the Soviets, but their metro stations clearly are one of them. A shame this country is so remote because it looks like it should be on the wishlist of more people. Very brave to travel their on your own, but the result is once more a great video! Keep on filming!
I agree with you, Marc. I wouldn't idolize what the Soviet Union has done to many of these countries but I must say some things were left me in an awe. I can't imagine what metro stations in Moscow or bigger cities in Russia would be like. It would be such an experience to just immerse myself in once I get the opportunity to visit. Yeah I think Central Asia is a less popular region for international travel but I see more and more people visiting some of these countries, such as Uzbekistan.
This entire infrastructure of Tashkent was build first of all for russian people, which they were majority in this city in soviet times. And leadeship positions were held by russians. In soviet times, the head of the KGB of Uzbekistan SSR (real power was in the KGB) was never an Uzbek.
Hotel Uzbekistan is like Hotel Indonesia near Bundaran Jakarta near Hyatt and Grand Indonesia Mall, but much of that heritage has been dwarfed by the newer towers and development.
Interesting comparison. I must say Central Asia has undergone a slower development than Southeast Asia since the collapse of Soviet Union. Many governments in Post Soviet countries are still steering away from applying a democratic government which hinders the free trade movement. Many of them are stuck within the old days civil war, as recently as 2022 between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, increasing distrust between nations.
@@SyifaAdrianaAm planning to go there probably April 2024, spring i think, i dont like the cold temp. Did you cover the Imam Bukhari mouseleum, outside Samarkhan?
Two days in, I’m finding Tashkent very-very interesting, in half a dozen ways. If I had to mention something I am NOT liking, is the overwhelming (I reckon) presence of police in the streets. I’ve been to several other “police-states”, but feels like Uzbekistan takes it to a whole different level. Personally, only in Jerusalem’s Old Town have I seen more police officers per square kilometer. I don’t mind it, in the sense that… they seem not to mess with tourists, but it does put me off, if I’m being honest, as a sight. Anyway, today I’m hitting 3-4 of the sights you presented in this video, waiting for my Tashkent highlight, tomorrow, Pakhtakor’s AFC Champions League game against Al Ain from the UAE :-):-):-). Ticket cost, about 2.50 euros :-):-). Enjoy Tajikistan! I’m taking the same train on October 10.
So agree with you, Diba! That’s what really put me off from staying in Tashkent, just the police presence made me a lot more uptight about being there even as a tourists. A spot on observation!
6:21 👋🏻🤠 Hi! Plov (pilahvi in finnish) is my favorite food. It’s not easy to have, because it needs long time to cook and better the taste than bigger amount is cooked 🤤
Thank you for your comment, Sami. Yes Plov is a nice dish once in a while although to me the flavor can be too strong so it's personally not my favorite. :-D
Awww thank you so much. I am so glad someone noticed this haha. I personally take a very good care of my skin and truly a fan of make up while enjoy looking presentable but not too much 😀
Hi Dino, I would say absolutely yes. Uzbekistan is the most touristy in comparison to Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan I would say. Highly recommend!

Two days in, I’m finding Tashkent very-very interesting, in half a dozen ways. If I had to mention something I am NOT liking, is the overwhelming (I reckon) presence of police in the streets. I’ve been to several other “police-states”, but feels like Uzbekistan takes it to a whole different level. Personally, only in Jerusalem’s Old Town have I seen more police officers per square kilometer. I don’t mind it, in the sense that… they seem not to mess with tourists, but it does put me off, if I’m being honest, as a sight.
Anyway, today I’m hitting 3-4 of the sights you presented in this video, waiting for my Tashkent highlight, tomorrow, Pakhtakor’s AFC Champions League game against Al Ain from the UAE :-):-):-). Ticket cost, about 2.50 euros :-):-).
Enjoy Tajikistan! I’m taking the same train on October 10.
So agree with you, Diba! That’s what really put me off from staying in Tashkent, just the police presence made me a lot more uptight about being there even as a tourists. A spot on observation!

6:21 👋🏻🤠 Hi! Plov (pilahvi in finnish) is my favorite food. It’s not easy to have, because it needs long time to cook and better the taste than bigger amount is cooked 🤤
Thank you for your comment, Sami. Yes Plov is a nice dish once in a while although to me the flavor can be too strong so it's personally not my favorite. :-D

How can i reach Tashkent or Samarkand from Europe? What airline? from what City?
Makin cantik sekarang
Hi beautiful girl, is it a safe destination for tourists who don't spread the language? It seems interesting to see those places, Dino from Sweden 😘
Hi Dino, I would say absolutely yes. Uzbekistan is the most touristy in comparison to Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan I would say. Highly recommend!
