Additionally, i am from Uzbekistan, and the capital of my country is Tashkent
One day, I would love to visit London. Thank you for this amazing video.
I live in Tashkent. It’s the capital of Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan is the post-Soviet country, so there is a lot of Russian culture and history impacts. A lot of people speak Russian. Tashkent is a very beautiful town with parks and Soviet modernism architecture. I consider that Tashkent is also multicultural city as well as all post-Soviet countries. During Second World War the best specialists and the most intelligent people were relocated in Tashkent and other cities of Uzbekistan.
People are very kind and cheerful here. But before the Russian empire and USSR, the capital of our country was Samarkand — very ancient city that is over 2750 years old, it’s on the Silk Road. Samarkand is known for its mosques and mausoleums.
I live in London 12 years ago.
I do love it.

Tashkent invaded and wrecked from Sar Russian troops in 1865 and there are lots of historical buildings like Ko’kcha, Minor and others. Today Tashkent is totally contrast city.
