Farg'ona Local Customs

Something I noticed in eastern Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan have been the “cars from western Europe”. In Germany we would say, something falls from a truck, meaning that it is stolen. For the cars I was not quite sure, as it could well have been that some Uzbek traders bought tons of older or used minibusses in western Europe to sell them in their homecountry.
But… if you are missing a car, you might likely encounter it somewhere in Central Asia, with all the stickers and writings on it. The one in the photo did have the writing of a Mannheim “company” on it.
