1) Wallets or portemonnaies are useless here. Come with big plastic bags to carry your money. $100 is an equivalent of two piles of banknotes. The smallest value is 100 Sum, which is roughly 5 cents.

2) Be prepared to encounter 25 year-olds smiling at you with a front row of golden teeth. It’s trendy, ok?

3) Coke plastic bottles of 0,5 l cannot be found in this country!!

4) Don’t be vegetarian and try to become happy in Uzbekistan. It’s impossible.

5) It’s the country with the biggest density of beer ads – possibly one of the most unorthodox muslim countries.

6) Guys who spill out every 30 sec and drive at around 30 km/h on the right lane letting their arm casually hanging out of the window are extremely cool and manly.

7) No western person will ever leave this country without having suffered from several intestine incoиveniences.

8) Every car in Tashkent is a taxi.

9) Never try to get in trouble with those green men. Eventually they will be wanting to confiscate your passport.

10) If you look for a place where people will go out of their way in order to help you please do go to Uzbekistan.
