I have to show you this impressive memorial, which was erected in memory of the victims of an earthquake in 1966, when in Tashkent was destroyed a huge number of buildings.

The granite cube split was shattered, the clock stopped at the moment when the earthquake began.

The whole Union helped to rebuild the capital of Uzbekistan.

Absolutely all fraternal Republics sent their builders, and in a short time Tashkent was reconstructed.

The memorial, which is called "The Courage", is located at the river Ankhor.

There is also the most famous and most popular cafe.

Foreigners like to come here.

The food is tasty, it is relatively inexpensive, colorful  and is located on the river bank - amazing!

Some cafes in Uzbekistan, maybe even the majority of them, have a narrow specialization.

In one cafe you can eat pilaf, in another  - meat.

I came to the place where they make Jizzakh samsa.

The difference from the classic (tandoor) one is the size. This salsa is much bigger.

At the entrance to the cafe there is an advertising banner with a thematic poem.

"Finally the flame is gone, and the Creator doing more.

Hanging like nests of a swallow

Samsas in the tandoor, right in a row.

A little time will pass,

A tantalizing spirit from them will go,

Samsa, riddled with fever,

Sparkles with a bronze tan."

Bravo to an unknown poet! Bravo also to you, creator of samsa.

The only thing the owner told me that every day in her cafe come and eat to two hundred of these scones.

The number amazed me, I shared it with the taxi driver who drove me back.

He said that 200 - is nothing special at all.

There are places in Tashkent some places, where a day are sold  several thousand of Sams? Samson? Samsa, I guess.

A few thousand a day? Well, I don't know ...

And do you know where the most delicious samosa was?

From my point of view, of course.

It's funny.

Traveled, if not to the most, then certainly to a significant part of Uzbekistan looking for perfect samsa.

And I found it in a place,  where I didn't even think to shoot videos.

Well, good that we have photos.

Had some things to do on the outskirts of the city, went to a good friend in Tashkent.

And she took us to the usual cafe near the house.

It was the yard,  which are hundreds of them.

Well, I couldn't even imagine, that I will nostalgically remember these place being hungry.

And samosa is not expensive - 3,500 so'm ($0,4).

Meat-lamb, a little fat tail, dough-puff.

Some more about the food!  About "Naryn".

There is a place in Tashkent - "Katartal".

People come specially to eat this dish there.

- Meat of a horse is boiled

- Then this meat should dry out to be something like jerky and dough

- Homemade dough?

- Yes, homemade.

- As if the dough is made for noodles

- And why the broth?

-Some people do eat with  broth.

- With the noodles?

- Yeah, with the noodles, like a soup.

An interesting feature of Tashkent - the large number of pharmacies.

In Uzbek it's means "dorihana".

If in the area is at least one of "dorihana", then soon there will be another pharmacy, than another one and so on.

Even it can be, that on one street in a row are a dozen pharmacies in a row .

- The whole street almost consists of pharmacies.

- It begins there.

- Here again, a pharmacy.

- Another "dorihana", a pharmacy.

Then there is also "dorihana", "dorihana","dorihana"...

Near the hospital we found 17 pharmacies.
