Hey guys! I'm an Azerbaijani student studying in Baku, and I really like Uzbekistan and its culture. There's an Uzbek girl at university I like, but she seems quite conservative and gives me the impression that dating should lead to marriage. I've met quite a few Uzbeks, and although I haven't discussed this topic with them, I get the feeling that many share similar views. From my experience, this seems less common among Azerbaijanis and Turks. Is this common among young Uzbeks, or does it depend more on the person and their family or is this just a superficial impression I'm getting from her?

If so where do you buy your food?

Salom!

Some time ago I had scanned some diapositives from my late grandfather's travels across the USSR and beyond, and I encountered quite a few pictures from Uzbekistan, more precisely, from Bukhara, Tashkent, Samarkand and probably somewhere else, but neither me nor Google Lens could recognise them. I'd be more than happy to ask for your suggestions and ideas that I could use for my future travels.

Rahmat!

Do you know any stores selling russian style pork bacon in samarkand city? I've seen those unsliced smoked bacon in Tashkent and tried it, t'was good.

Should I be worried about getting a taxi in the middle of the night to the airport? I’m worried that no one will pick me up and I’ll get stranded…

Hi guys

I'm kinda at my wits end, I've tried to book train tickets for the past 2 hours. So I've tried the official website, then tickets.kz , finally 12go. I've also tried downloading the apps for them but every time it crashes on the payment page, or the very final payment then it says seats not available

I've changed the time on my phone, used different phones (both android and IOS), different browsers but still not working. Can anybody help? Thanks

Uzbekistan removed visa requirements for American tourists at the beginning of 2026. I will be visiting in March (and am very excited). I am just now starting to hear of Uzbekistan becoming an up and coming tourist destination. Have you guys seen a noticeable increase in American tourists?

Whoever is resposinble for traffic management in Tashkent, I hate you with all my guts.

Give buses separate lane? I totally agree.

But left turns not allowed? This is BS.
Allow Poytaxt parking to take over roads? Another BS.

Now, downtown roads with 8 lanes for various cars became 2 lanes for buses, 2 lanes for parking, 4-6lanes only for cars.

To turn left, I have to turn right, find a U turn, and create even more traffic. Or I have to avoid main road and use secondary roads, and create traffic there.

Now every rush hour we see traffic police (thanks for the service), manually controlling nearly every interception to somehow manage the flow.

They give Poytaxt Parking parking lanes where it was not allowed to park before. And now some roads lost 2 lanes just for sake of someones pocket. While we pay for their roads they somehow have audacity to ask for payment. I dont pay fyi.

Why Hakimiyat didnt share results of simulations before allowing this bs? Did they run simulations after all?

BS.

P..S.: As a certified Cities Skylines player, mainly addicted to traffic management, I rate their personnel 3/10.

Hey everyone,

​I’ve been thinking about international marriages recently and wanted to get ur opinions on some things. What is the general attitude here in families toward an Uzbek guy marrying someone from another country?

​

Personally, I don't really mind the idea of cultures mixing, but I feel like our parents' generation worries a lot about it. There seems to be this expectation that we have to marry within our culture, and that marrying a foreigner might "break the cycle" of our generation and traditions. Have any of you dealt with this, and how do couples navigate that kind of pressure from their parents?

​And how do couples navigate the language gap, not just with extended family, but with each other? Even if both people speak fluent English, I feel like there are just some nuances and complex feelings you can't fully convey in a second language. Sometimes you just need someone who shares your mother tongue to truly understand those specific, deep things you want to talk about. Without that native linguistic connection, do conversations run the risk of staying somewhat shallow? Does it make it significantly harder to form a truly deep, complex relationship, or am I just looking at this too pessimistically?

In our culture, the connection between the in-laws is a huge deal. But in an international marriage, how do the people from two sides even interact? If her family is from another country and only speaks their native language or English, and my family mainly speaks Uzbek, how does that work in reality? Do they just smile and nod through translations during visits and weddings, or is there a way to actually build a bond between the families despite the massive language barrier?

​If anyone has personal experience with this, knows someone in an international marriage, or just has general thoughts on how our society views it nowadays, I’d really appreciate your opinions.

yo this is like super random and i hope it doesn’t come off as rude or weird

but sometimes people make me feel as if i’m not “asian”

let me explain, im from afghanistan (but im afghan uzbek) and i feel that to other central asians i always look more iranian or people even kept saying to me that i should stop pretending to be asian and that i look “indian” (which doesnt make sense because indians are south ASIANS still, even if some of them dont “look asian”

and i know that i shouldn’t listen to people like that but ngl it kinda makes me sad and feel like the odd one out.. am i weird for feeling this, i mean i dont think im ugly or something just yk

also my skin is naturally more tanned than east asian looking central asians and i dont know if this is colourism but people again tell me all the time that i don’t look asian

i just wanted to get this off my chest

have a nice day/night everyone:)

I'm in Samarkand for 2.5 days and there has already been a water outage twice. Nothing can be done by the hotel but is anyone else annoyed by this?!

Qachondr bo'ganmi shu haqida muhokama? Ketadganla ketvorurardyu nu qoganlaga butun boshli zdanya qob ketardi. Yer o'yish bosa mayli nu supurganda chang boladi uni ustiga havo sovuq. Shamollash oshib darsga kemasa yana ota ona aybdor bo'ladi qog'ozbozlik bilan.

Just discovered that Google Wallet app is available to download on Google Play within Uzbekistan.

Seems like it supports Uzum Bank integration, but when I tried to add the card to the GW, it just threw an error.

I am not sure about other bank integrations, and Humo/Uzcard integration too but having the app in Play Market is a good sign.

Currently downloading iOS 27.2 as well to try the Apple Wallet since today is the date when it should start working in Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan Apartment Occupancy Rules (Based on Living Area)

16–30 m²: 1 person

31–45 m²: 2 persons

46–62 m²: 3 persons

63–78 m²: 4 persons

Important: Uzbekistan’s Law No. ZRU-1074, Article 20, establishes a minimum social housing-area norm of 16 m² per person. The exact number of people permitted to register may depend on the applicable regional rules and individual circumstances.

Please verify the above area brackets with the relevant local registration authority before treating them as official limits.

We will be flying in to Tashkent on 25th January. Then we will take a train to Almaty on 30th. Flights and Hotels are booked. How early should I apply for the visa. I just want it approved and get it off my to do list as I will be travelling through Nepal all winter and might be too busy to have any last minute delays.
