      Did you know that Islam is the true religion of God?

      The concept of poor is not the same in many cultures as it is in Western Europe and North America! People are not poor simply because they don't have a fancy house and fancy possessions. When people have a decent and functional house to live in, food, healthcare and education, necessities, family, friends, community, etc., they are not poor!

      Ташкент это был самый богатый город Кокандского ханства, много золота и шелка, только за счет налогов транспортных шелкового пути. Если только почитать узбекские народные сказки это видно. Но пришла Россия и спасла людей от чрезмерного богатства. Второе видео подряд оказывается продвигается идея что страны ЦА обязан совку и рашке. Это не так взять только факт что Кыргызстан весь газ это узбекский газ, захваченный на границе Газпромом и перепродается по завышенной цене. Это заказной канал оказывается, пропаганда.

    I visited Tashkent back in 1982. I went on an organised trip and flew from London to Moscow and visited Bukhara, Tashkent, Samarkand and Leningrad. It was my third trip to the Soviet Union. I traveled with my brother and I remember my Mother crying before we set off on our holiday thinking she’d never see us again. Lol. I was 21 years old. In Tashkent I remember women upon seeing us smiling to show off their gold capped teeth. It was the height of fashion for women in Tashkent to have gold capped teeth during that time. I have very fond memories of the Soviet Union. I recently subscribed to your great channel. Diolch Eli.

    This was great - so interesting. I like to watch Elvira's channel "On the Way" where she shows viewers many aspects of life in Uzbekistan ( and some neighboring places), so this was really great to see Tashkent from your perspective, Eli. You always put high quality and interesting stuff out there - keep up the good work!

    I loved listening to your Korean friend talking about why Koreans were deported to Central Asia because the same thing happened to my ethnic group.

      Stalin move around many ethnic group all over Russia...mostly because they do not want that particular ethnic group to rised up and rebel, not because they look like something else...that is why he relocated many Crimean tartars to Siberia because if the Tartar stay at Crimea that are near to Turkey they might rise up and rebel. Same with Circassia people who forcefully kick out from Circassia and many today like in Syria and Turkey. Only the Chechen stay and fought long enough until the Russian gave up lol.

    I'm from the Czech Republic, I took my son on vacation last week. We passed through Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The main difference between Western Europe and the East is the people. In the east they are much friendlier. I have visited more than thirty countries of the world and I can confirm with certainty that the drier the country, the better the people.

I hope you also visited Semerkand and Bukhara in Uzbekistan cause the Uzbek traditional architecture is so beautiful. Those cities are like a time machine. And fun fact Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Babur's Grandson and Emperor Babur was the grand son of the Uzbek Emperor Timur.

As for Uzbekistan, I knew nothing of its history. It's interesting to learn these things. There's so much we are not taught in school. But you always point out the good things about people and that most people everywhere are friendly and want to be helpful.

    Ever since I was a child, I've been fascinated with Central Asia. Often I would dream of it's place in history, the Silk Road, and the allure of it's mysticism. What was it like living in the moment, as Paul Cooper of Fall of Civilization would often put it. Now as a middle aged, I really need to fulfill this childhood fascination before I'm unable to, physically.
    Great video as always, Eli. I love your aunt's perspective. She has such a wonderful soul, adventurous like yourself.
    Only thing missing is you meeting with Kostja from Inside Russia and members of the Tashkent Breakfast Club. That would have been a great added bonus. ❤
