Khiva, Tashkent Navroze

Hello children of the sun,

now so late my report of Khiva. excuse me, but I was now short time in the hospital and was not very motivated to write timely.

so chiwa. Khiva was, as I found one of the really beautiful parts of the trip and gave me honest better than Bukhara, Samarkand and especially liked Tashkent. a small town far away from residents in the desert sand with about 30,000. you can come only from the nearest provincial capital urgensch where there is a train station and airport. but it is really worthwhile. the city is a UNESCO world cultural heritage and if you should plan times, it euc watching trip, soon. before the large number of tourists Uzbekistan and discover with him chiwa and expatiate. But currently there is almost nothing going on. in my three or four days ago I ran a group of French place, a group of Japanese or Chinese and a handful of Russian tourists away on. not genuine. and the way you chiwa regarded as an attraction, so it was perceived to hold.

I arrived by night train to Urgench and in front of the station staden already - the only really strenuous civilian human species in Uzbekistan - the taxi driver. from all sides was always in one of these nutty doubling "taxi, taxi!" and Khiva, Khiva " zugebrüllt. as if we could have not understood the first word and before would not buckle, what do they want from a could.
well, I have then a "taxi" selected, the car was a perfectly ordinary course and let me have for their relationships far too much money to Khiva, drive 40 km west. In the beginning it is probably zangsläufig so that pulls the trigger too much, since one of the local rates may not truly estimate and it sucks either way cheap for our standards on site. the driver has at any rate the day's business done with me.

the trip was a wild ride on the worst street. fahrbahnmakierungen apply Uzbekistan seemingly nothing. obsolete, as and where it just fits me, de horn is the most important parts on the car, so important and much used, that one does not know why honking around you at all all you get on the road sometimes roadway on your donkey cart and cyclists and taxi drivers against swallowing any drugs during the trip. drug apropos. a widespread phenomenon. the Uzbeks lubricate some greenish powder under the tongue and make it so on through the mucous membranes. have also offered to me again and again. I do not know what that is, it makes the people but largely peaceful and sluggish. And since it takes one out of two Uzbek men, I can easily imagine that it is with reason that in the country do not run quite like it.

arrived in Khiva I looked for a hotel and stayed at the Islambek. It was a family hotel and I was the only tourist in the house. an annoying Russian film crew is then the day has gone down yet. But you could have saved sicch honest.

chiwa itself as already mentioned actually was really nice. a normally inhabited desert town whose weltkuklturerbe old town is UNESCO. I do not know how old she is, she is still largely true beautifully preserved. somehow everything built from clay and sandstone. minarets of ancient city wall and blue bekachelten. and the people were nice and friendly and open.

on the second day was Navroze, the New Year and Spring Festival and there were people in their best dresses on the go. groups of children moved through the city, families could take pictures with big tigers before plastering the buildings, a couple walked hand in hand and walk in the park was a big commotion. if I have understood correctly, the Uzbek Navroze pretty much the highest holiday of the year. in any case were all in high spirits.

well, that was quite short in Khiva. I lack just a little the words to express myself exhaustible. The next part of the trip was the tour to Bukhara and Samarkand to then . So we read.

when I train now at last, after a long, long, and in Uzbekistan capital Tashkent in its arrived, I first stood in front of a problem. It was already late at night and I had no hotel. clever, as I am sometimes, I of course had me a precaution listefür Candidate descend from the internet picked out and written down. only hold as much as I'm smart, I'm scatterbrained, so I still have this list in Germany did leave.

I did so look at the socks. Besides, I also wanted to provide them with cash and looked for a bank with automatic order.
after I left the train station behind me and had taken away towards the city, I came to a large intersection, where many policemen rumlungerten. an all whistled and jumped up, went off and posted in the adjacent streets. gradually came to poizeifahrzeuge minutes distance with blue light shot down the road and at some point a black motorcade. and shortly afterwards the roadblocks taken down and the traffic rolled again. I think I had just the President of Uzbekistan or one of his whipping boy "seen".
the bank buildings, I had no success. were closed and all machines appear to have none. I finally came to an "Irish pub", was standing at the door of an inlet. asked shortly after his English. he had not, but at least the work load in a group of young people, one of whom even spoke German. Sun can reveal to me in a hotel nearby. later, I am the way, after my shower ium hotel has returned again to a neat Guinness. Unfortunately, only it was the first Irish pub without it. they only had Russian beer-brand Baltika.
in the hotel, I learned that machines with cash for the credit card only in larger hotels of the capital are, otherwise they could only withdraw money directly into the banks. at least there were opportunities everywhere for free exchange of its forex sought.

I made another set night walk and already established there, Tashkent is massively boring. it had to be whether the police make large revenue not sure that the handbag would be stolen. the next day was not to loafing Tashkent interesting. parks were the only people with the chess players and young right beautiful. so I decided if any, on the same evening again to move on and bought a ticket for the night train to Urgench.

for my trip to Urgench I inattentive unfortunately two different things. It was Friday and the next day was Navruz, the New Year. both provided a very full train in the province. in my compartment were two older men, a newly released operating from hospital (it was probably the gallbladder that was removed) and now back home and drove a dealer. this was then still a young man who spoke good English. He is a banker in Tashkent and was on his way to the Father. was with him I feel good about the trip to talk and he invited me to visit him also to Navruz, celebrate it with him.

arrived in Urgench, the entire station by the police abngesperrt and the whole mass of the train went through a small door at the show passes. then there are many photos were displayed by some in the art opositionellen raf old wanted poster. and before the station was waiting for the pack cab drivers (in addition, the single most annoying group of people throughout Uzbekistan - otherwise it was harassed by people really hard), all to a "taxi, taxi!" and "chiwa?" entgegenbrüllten and still wanted to pursue. at least I've then a "bugger off you!" types at a particularly annoying, who wanted to see it's not that I so very kind of harassment do not want a taxi, which stood around freely taken in and read me chiwa night, about 40 kilometers away go. and of course you have standards for our one dirt-cheap price gelöhnt, but how to walk in the notice could still travel for Uzbek relations is quite the teat can be drawn.

so unfortunately I have to fast for uni.
so there chiwa to be quite that soon.

the trip to Uzbekistan

hello kids sun

advance might have said, there are more photos to see on my studivzseite.

now so my first report after the trip from Uzbekistan. and I can tell you, I have seen something. advance roughly outlined a long train ride there. it nice to know people on the train. Then one day Tashkent viewed and found to be boring. after an overnight train Urgench and then taxi to the next went to Khiva. remained there for three days. really beautiful little town with a lot of nice people. then by taxi to the desert Bukhara. from there by train to Samarkand. then by bus again, this time to Tashkent, to be then taken by the taxi to the Tien Shan to Ferghana to ride. then in the last foothills of the Himalayas, to a police station in a provonzhauptstadt spent with the dearest and most hospitable people, lived a family tatschikischen and the crossing of the Tien Shan failed to foot.

So we start with the train journey to Uzbekistan. the tickets Magdeburg - Berlin - Moscow and Moscow - Tashkent I had already ordered a travel agency in Germany. In retrospect, the large rubbish and a huge waste of money because they would place themselves and, for example, can order the tickets for much less. but you do not like that so the dog first time.

so I'm from Berlin on the night train to Moscow. It was a Russian train, as we know him and I had a three compartment, I had my share from poland with a Russian. to train in an elderly German-Russian, traveled with his wife ("family of funk berlin"), who wanted his son to visit in Moscow. with the care they were talking and he knew this or that report.


otherwise the trip to Moscow was quite spectacular. we passed through Belarus and Minsk, I bought my food at the babushkas who were at each station and was one, two fixed in russia. there now I had with the metro station to Kazan of Belarusian and during this trip I thought so what, if any Chechens now ignite a bomb. that's the "ideal" goal. considerations that my two weeks later would actually be true, is very bad.

Kazan train station from now, I took the train to Uzbekistan after Tashkent. It was a train Uzbek, who was better on the first sight when he was on the second or third. I was stretching over long in my "lux" of two-compartment car, the only paying guest, but does not mean that my guard, not all hands had their hands full. venera Mardon and they were called. and how the conductor in all other cars, they saw declines from moscow very busy second career after her tolerable. the smuggling of goods. something hatt custody have not experienced. at the train station from the compartments formed clusters of people dubious people and after some gefalsche were bags and boxes again and again in the train carried here and there, hidden set of well-known. initially was mainly because of me venera also very nervous and she did not really know me all that I looked with interest. samara in the whole story then I could take pictures then have unabashedly.

run in the trip it was also the conductor with always amusing. most of which were very nice and I Uzbekistan already got a taste, since they were very interested, otherwise hardly even a tourist find their way (and then on the way) in your country. amazing one could despite the language problem also relatively well maintained and with my small but English-and Russian-and very good knowledge of German I was fine clear. could train crew in particular Oxana Englich, then the venture also like to find my two on-board staff in my main confidante and interpreter was.

understood the girls and boys so very not, as it happened to me on the whole journey again and again that I am still not married and they particularly interested in what was then, when I would now fall badly. and this or that would still have to.

what mitbekam quickly was the fact that the Uzbeks do not take Islam as strict with her. Although they call all the "Moslems," drink but like the Russians and headscarf store is not there. at all were the women the men's hardly anywhere to. Therefore, from the Soviet Union has not her worst tracks and leave a lasting effect after properly.

after endless snowy Russian woods we passed the ice and really very broad Volga and ultimately the Kazakh border. on each side two hours a thorough border checks. and here you could tell quickly who is still so everything is included in the smuggling of goods, as has been said thoroughly inspected. only precisely wherever was just simply nothing hidden. to hide something like that was bypassed by elegant that you had to marvel at really. The Kazakh border guards could then also fluent in German and you could once again hold a small chattering in his mother tongue.

the initial trip through Kazakhstan was really the best part and visually stunning. schnebedeckte endless steppe as far as the eye can see a bright blue sky. there you could really look out for hours banned. place from time to time by a small, a herd of camels or whatever interrupted. that was really nice. then there were times rolling hills and a schnesturm and then only plane. eventually disappeared and the snow was the steppe and desert brown. and you got all the dirt to face along the route. plastic waste without end. of what really ugly.

of the remains of the Aral Sea, I got on the trip to face nüscht Unfortunately, as we place them and the night passed as worded. were the people at the stations more beautiful and photogenic and above all the stray dogs had it done to me yes. were really loved her very much, although I of course if a possible rabies from a very young not touched. at each station at any rate was greater volume from which to train to be written, perhaps this or that happen. and I still provided me above all the dealers who had inhabited the same groups in the railway stations. the babushkas.

now and then came a Kazakh police officers in uniform or without this or that in the train and talked with me and the train crew. what it has always found all the really great was my tunnel, which had somehow never even seen. Kazakhstan pulled the dealer the whole time by the train and wanted to sell one of this or that. from smoked fish to children's toys you could buy anything, you wanted it for.

what to listen to each station with was the ping of hammers, the obligatory train staff, once with his hammer for whatever reason struck wheel on each individual. you always wondered, what looks or hears.

after three days we arrived in Uzbekistan and now after several hours of clearance times, but both the Kazakh and Uzbek side got on with it the first time the Uzbek police unfriendly. in any case it was also still fairly uncomplicated. but you were warned not to create more foreign currency from the country, when they brought inside. it was something forbidden - uiuiuiui. limit

shortly after we arrived then also have focused on the millions of Tashkent. It was night and so had First Western, as she and the second light was still possible largely look. this, however, and especially to the real nice chiwa next time more.
