1) The first and the most important magnet of Uzbekistan are the local people, who are passionate about their country, culture and future.
2) Everywhere you will see various mosaics: golden,ceramics or wooden based.
3) There are a workshops available where you can learn and do it yourself.
4) There a variety of things you can take back to your home country with this mosaic: Christmas decorations, earrings, postcards, cups and etc.It is my terminology to call Uzbek hospitality as Sumalak Hospitality which means sacramental, very traditional and so touching.
5) I love Sumalak which has place in Kyrgyz culture as well. And I found here a lot of similarity with my own culture.
6) It became an issue for last year in my city, therefore I noticed a clean air in Uzbekistan.
7) The reason is that in the cities people use natural gas as fuel.
8) I didn’t see any trash anywhere. May be I’ve been only in touristic places.
9) However, I think it is a great accomplishment of the Uzbek government who cares about it.
10) That was unforgettable memory and feeling that I need to discover more in this beautiful country.
