  • Samarkand in Uzbekistan is becoming an increasingly popular destination for people across Europe and Asia. I've been staying in the ancient Silk Road city for a week now, and after exploring what Samarkand has to offer, I only have one question - is it more than just a tourist trap?
    Explore the city with more and discover some of the most amazing architecture in the world, parks, backstreets, and a good old fashioned burger restaurant!

    I believe the white paint on tree trunks is to protect the tree from sunlight (white color reflects more light). The trunks are painted to prevent bark splitting and other heat-related problems. We see this commonly in the US too.

      The tree trunks are not painted with white paint, it is lime. Covering trees with lime prevents damage to them by harmful insects and bugs.

      That's to save trees from some insects, that crawl up and eat them.

    My Polish mother in law paints the trunks of her fruit trees with white lime or something similar. She told me that it stops some insects climbing up them . I don't know if it works.

    White paint is against insects. They also paint the curb of sidewalk near houses in white for sane reason.

  • @Almazarsky
    @Almazarsky Год назад +1

    As far as I can remember, we always paint tree trunks with white lime, firstly to prevent some insects from climbing up and secondly it looks beautiful ... The last statement about beauty is questionable of course ?!

      Найдите узбекские авиалинии,они должны быть дешевле,лучше кормят чем многие авиалинии,и по безопасности и комфорту в высоких рейтингах. Самолеты только компании Боинг и Airbus. Летчики тоже считаются лучшими(Российская школа). Каждую неделю вроде бы есть рейсы

      It's definitely mostly cash. You might find the odd tourist restaurant which takes card but it is almost completely cash (unfortunately for me)

    Samarkand architecture is better than that of Taj mahal, on account of the colours. Taj mahal is plain white.

    I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s precisely the cafe shops and burger joints you like what qualifies as a tourist trap. That Samarkand does not have that many means it is not a tourist trap yet. Do you really want ice cream parlors, pubs, pizza places and stuff like that? Perhaps you may enjoy the century-old mosques, madrassas, mausoleums and old streets and forget western junk food…. Just a thought.
