Uzbekistan facts & history in brief
Tashkent
Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tashkent - Aerial view
Tashkent is the capital of Uzbekistan
and also of the Tashkent Province.
The officially registered population of the
city in 2006 was 2.1 million.
According to unofficial data, the
population is more than 3 million.
In medieval times the town and the province
were known as "Chach".
Later, the town came to be known as
Chachkand/Chashkand, meaning "Chach City."
(Kand, qand, kent, kad, kath, kud--all
meaning a city, are derived from the Old
Persian, kanda, meaning a town or a city.
They are found in city names like
Samarkand, Yarkand, Penjikent etc.)
After the 16th century, the name was
steadily changed slightly from
Chachkand/Chashkand to Tashkand,
which, as "stone city", was more
meaningful to the new inhabitants
than the old name.
The modern spelling of Tashkent
reflects Russian orthography.

I do not usually comment about hotels and other
services we encounter during our overseas trips.
Firstly because the services we get usually
doesn't worth commenting about and secondly
I do not get paid for advertising the Hotels
and other services.
However we had the usual hassles with Taxi
drivers and hotel agents etc. on our arrival
to Tashkent.
After a lot of hassles we found a quiet
and helpful Taxi driver and we used him to
visit Bukhara, Samarkand
and Tashkent as well.
I am a real softie sometimes, one unguarded
moment I promissed this chap, that I will
mention him on my page.
He was nice, helpful and oblidging, until
he took us to the airport on our departure
and charged us about ten times what he or they
would charge the locals
for the same service.
However I will keep my promise
and his name is
Arbek, the Taxi driver

Tashkent - Buses
A few of the so, so photos I took of the buses plying the
streets of Tashkent.
I like to photograph buses, although the whether and the
buses never learnt to co-operate with my wishes, well
there goes the team-play, huh?
further down this page I have some trams and trolley buses
as well, well the same applies to them too.
