A trip to Tashkent (Uzbekistan)

A trip to Tashkent

Background:
I had a chance with a team of artists to visit this wonderful city in Uzbekistan. We went to the speech (rock concert), which took place in a club in Tashkent.
Most probably terrible that I remember - this border crossing Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan. 3:00 hassle of filling declaration, border guards frisk.
After the border we expect a beautiful, large, clean city, which I have never visited.
The first thing that surprised me - in the city all go to the domestic auto industry - the car brand DAEWOO (Nexia, Matiz and IP). Daewoo Cobiralas in Uzbekistan, and is therefore probably more profitable for them to buy from their same car industry. Cars I saw on the strength of 20 pieces, jeeps - 3-4. Led drive erratically, and very quickly. Tacked into a taxi and even the drivers just do - is not accepted, immediately begin to resent "Eyyy why you strap Neuvazliayev chtoli."
The second thing that caught my eye - the tram tracks cross the road - perpendicular, and everywhere. I did not see the track ran parallel to the road.
Third, what surprises me - cash. Amounts in the shops may amount to millions of the sum, which translated into a dollar amount to $ 100-200. People living there do not go with in cash, as I have to carry a bag of money , they prefer cards. We went with a large stack of money.
The population there is quite friendly, catering to just do it like you are taking the honored guest.
