Uzbekistan is a Country Rich in Gold Reserves
This is called Uzbekistan for several reasons. Home - there are 300 sunny days in the country, and this is called a common occurrence.
30 degrees Celsius in cold and abnormal April. Usually it happens more, and in summer its temperature can reach 45-50 degrees.
Uzbekistan is a rich country. Use gold reserves, it uses the 4th place in the world. According to uranium reserves - 7th place. Reserves of copper - 10, gas - 8 th. Does this have a positive effect on the lives of ordinary people? The question is, as they say, rhetorical ...
Arriving in Tashkent, you must exchange money with a plastic bag or backpack. And it's still good, because previously for such an operation it would take the trunk of the car. The largest paper money in Uzbekistan is 50,000 soum, which is about 360 rubles. And the cost of 1 US dollar is slightly more than eight thousand soum. Five years ago, the biggest bill was a thousand soum: it's almost impossible to make all Uzbekistan money with 1,000 dollars. The wallet in that country does not exist, and projects and cars are in US dollars. Truckers, carrying money in kind, to make paper money that is bigger than paper prices, are a common occurrence here.
I do not exchange currency on the road. And the bank will buy you money, but they will not sell it. But changed, recently, started to rise and just fine. You can also spend money in Uzbekistan, you can not. Most of the goat meat on satay skewers cost 150 rubles, salad on plate with tray size is 25-30, taxi for a small distance of 4-5 kilometers is 20-40, melon in the market is 20 rubles.
The madrassa or the ancient museum whispers, you will be offered to pay for admission with a 50% discount.
The minimum wage in Uzbekistan is $ 20, minimum pension is 40. Therefore, about 5 million Uzbeks work every year (on construction sites, by drivers and servants). Main: Russia, Kazakhstan, and Turkey. Only police and officials receive normal salary in this country.
In Uzbekistan, it is drunk either in hot or cold. Placed in beautifully painted teapots. If you order with a lemon, a piece, like us, will not bring - a generous carafe cut across the lemon! The Uzbeks do not understand why they drink coffee. And if you order coffee, chances are you will bring some sort of careless, incomprehensible to the taste.
Uzbekistan does not criticize the government. The Uzbeks are cautious and slow, and are also very curious to answer uncomfortable questions. President Islam Karimov ruled the country hard, and those who wanted to criticize him for freedom did not stay long. Attitudes toward the new leader Shavkat Mirzieev are not yet clear. You will usually be told: "It works well, though everything is up in price".
Uzbekistan, perhaps, is the only former Soviet state where the appeal of citizens to public works (for cotton) has been preserved. All companies and organizations will be inherited by the government for their employees for 10 days in the field with preserved salary. On the TV show, the farmers love to sit on long tables, they are fed with pilaf, and the most famous producer of silk. It's for TV, but it's different.
In Uzbekistan, from 1 January 2018, new orders 100% prepayment for water supply and sanitation were introduced. In the case of no payment, will be made to the customer, until the cut off of the air supply and sanitation system. Prices of goods increased. Fuel has gone up in price almost 40%. Now the selling price of one liter of gasoline AI-80 is 3800 amount - 50 Russian rubles
