¡Bienvenidos a The Blog!
So now that we have established the ways to do research about a destination, how to travel around and how to look for flights, I think it’s time we look deep into what my itinerary might look like for my trip to Uzbekistan.
To start, I have consulted numerous blogs for ideas on places to visit and I think my first stop will be in Tashkent, the capital and my point of entry into the country flying from Canada! This blog had a lot of really great highlight points that I feel suit my interests, so I will pick a few of their suggestions to discuss this week!
They suggest going to the Chorsu Bazaar, which, in my past travel experiences, a bazaar or market is always a great idea to hit up when you want an authentic experience in a country. This bazaar sounds like it sells everything from food, to clothing, to trinkets and more, making it an excellent stopover for some souvenirs or to watch as the locals purchase their produce and meats!
Next place they mention is the Hazrat Imam Complex, which displays some of Uzbekistan’s finest architecture. Here there is a library of oriental manuscripts that apparently is worth a look inside. To me, this is right up my ally. The older the building and its contents, the cooler it is!
According to this blog, these destinations are all easily accessible via the metro system in the city, which is an attraction in itself as they have beautiful light fixtures and art on the walls. They are reminiscent of old Soviet times too, so once again, waling through history!
Tune in next week as I explore more points of interest in the country!
