Tashkent’s climate is perfect to grow all kind of fruits and plants. What I liked very much is the vast use of grapevine for shady planting. The positive side is also that you can grab some grapes and other fruits if you get hungry. Well, of course (please!) only if this is in a public place, such as around museums or in parks, but never from private houses ! Some of these grapes are huge; the one in photo 1 was around 20 cm long. And they taste very good, sweet and full of aroma !
Often you can find also pomegranate trees – ahh yummm as well.
Another funny, simple and well thought out local custom is to water parks and gardens with a “special equipment”, almost all over in Uzbekistan. The water nozzle is covered by a fixed plastic water bottle with holes in there. Turn on the water and it sprays all around – lovely :-) Leave a Comment

 The price of war by TheWanderingCamel
The you come to the Statue of the Grieving Mother, part of the monument to the Fallen of World War II , keeping watch by the Eternal Flame, and your heart breaks for all the mothers who grieve for their sons and daughters, lost to the ambitions of men and the madness of war.

 Uzbek trumpets - a lot of fun
to listen and watch by Trekki, 2 more photos
But obviously parties are held in any other places or restaurants. While I was wandering around Amur Timur park looking for a nice place to have dinner, I suddenly heard trumpets and followed the sound. There was obviously a wedding or maybe birthday party going on, given the elegant dressed people that got inside.
The guys blowing the trumpets outside were all dressed in festive robes, of which you can see a lot also in the bazaars. They had a lot of fun, blowing their trumpets and were all aware that they’d been photographed. Still, sorry for my blurry pictures (I think I was hungry that evening). Leave a Comment

 Wedding party in Navoi Park. by rsleisk
We saw a similar scene while at the Tashkent Tomb of the Unknown Soldier next to the WWII Memorial. An interesting story was unfolding that my friend was telling me about as he overheard their conversation.
Apparently the photographer was drunk and not cooperating with the bride and groom on taking the photos they wanted. The argument got pretty heated but the photographer eventually smiled and composed himself and off he went to continue taking their pictures. Leave a Comment

 Tashkent, Uzbekistan. by rsleisk
He and his family were the best tour guides. Dr. Umid introduced me to his good friend Alexey a local muscian and he took us all out to dinner where he refused my payment for my share of the bill. Uzbek hospitality is unmatched and I was pleasantly impressed. Leave a Comment
