What is the easiest way to get to Tashkent from the US? Should I fly through Moscow and try to connect from there or are there decently priced flights from Europe or the US? I am planning my next trip out and I want to hit some of the "stans". I love Tadjik and Uzbek girls from my stay in Russia. Any information would be great.

Thanks

It seems that all hotels have a "charge" to allow guests, is that true or can someone recomend a decent 4 star or better hotel that doesn't have the "charges." Am going on a holiday and although I can afford a 5 star but I think I would fare better at one of the 4 stars where the "charges" would be lower?

Flites from Germany to Europe are about 600 USD.

So I think it is wise to call Aeroflot Russian Airlines or better their US Consolidator and ask for a thruogh fare to Tashkent.

But it aint be cheap.


Is it possible to fly via dubai or sharja? Emirates do not fly there :(

HI Folks. Sorry I have nothing to contribute yet.

REcently, last april a regular who is now like a friend has gone to Uzbekistan and I believe now working in a Casino as a bar woman. Name of Lora, long brown hair, cute and young.

Her mobile is lost long time ago.

Anyone been with her / know if she is still working? Otherwise know if she is still in this casino in Tashkent? Its a long shot.

On my next trip I hope to hire her again if still working.

Regards,

Mike De H.

Hi, guys,

First let me say I have learned a great deal from this forum as a guest so I decided to become a member in hopes I could contribute. I will be heading to Uzbekistan in the coming year and hopefully much if what I have learned here I will be able to use and bring back more updated reports for the fellows here. I will be checking out the action in Tashkent but I will also be in the tourist cities of Kiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand (this is a vacation trip for me). So my question is does anyone have any updated info on these areas? Is it best just to ask around the taxi drivers, hotel bellman etc, in these areas, or are there any new clubs, bars, etc, as in Tashkent were action is more prevalent. For me I don't think language will be that much of a problem, I don't speak a great deal of pure Uzbek but I do Turkish and it is somewhat similar and I also have some knowledge of Russian.

Thanks in advance and I hope I can contribute to this great forum in the future.

I met a female pimp on Elena’s models that provides really beautiful women on call. Very professional and has a book full of her chicks. Her girls go for between 300-1000 a night…no hourly rate. Kinda steep for me but if you want to fuck the model of your dreams she can arrange it. Many of her girls have Euro visas too. PM me if you want her contact info. I wouldn’t waste her time if you are not a gentleman that can play on her level.

bad:

i have been to many ass backwards bastions of incompetence and tashkent may very well rate as #1 on the list. to boot, there is little or no infrastructure to support the 1st world traveler; for practical purposes there is no atm or credit card usage and anything that has to do with correctly functioning will not do so. allow me to proffer two examples:

i went into bank and asked about an atm machine and the lady in typical uzbek hospitality identified the location of the atm on my map. i went there only to find the machine not functioning. i returned to the bank to inform the bank employee of this and she replied,” yes, there is no money in it.” although she was kind enough to explain to me the machine’s location she was also dimwitted enough to neglect to tell me that the machine was out of money. at this point you have two options: hurl obscenities at the stooge or simply smile and say “god bless you. thank you very much.” i opted for the latter.

(***take visa as opposed to mastercard because the govt official responsible for international banking got a bigger cumshaw from visa thus the card is more readily accepted***)

i wanted to take a girl that i met there to the grandprix in singapore. get visa, get ticket, go. nope. i told the girl to arrange the ticket and she said that the airline couldn’t do it. i figured, ok, girls a girl, so i dispatched my assistant/guide to secure the tickets. negative from him as well. hmm, so i went to airline office myself to the “all routes” desk and was told that it was not possible. there were no direct flights on my chosen travel day so instead of the clerk rerouting me through moscow, bejiing, etc she just said that it was not possible to travel. this is most basic shit. i also got a kick out of the people bringing sacs full of money to purchase airline tickets…mind you the highest note is worth about 75 cents.

the professions of many of the women there….arabic dancer, karaoke girl, hostess, trapeze artist in bahrain circus, belly dancer, photo model….reveal a shockingly high number of girls employed in or around the peripheries of the transnational flesh trade. shit, tashkent ain’t topkea, but even the cleaning lady at my hotel had worked as a hostess in zurich in the late 90s. i don’t want to pollute this thread with my bullshit rhapsodies, but once a woman has been employed as a prostitute it definitely changes her psyche for the worse.

i was saddened to find that one of favorite hookers there had four sisters aged 17-34 and that they had all worked as hookers in dubai, bahrain, or found boyfriends (older married men) from malaysia who they lived with.

of course not everyone there has turned tricks on the gulf coast, but, at times, it certainly seemed like it.

a piece of advice, although the girls may blur the line between prostitution, sponsorship, and honest relationship i suggest that you do not. if one doesn’t, you are simply exposing yourself and the girl to disappointment and heartache down the line. i had a very emotionally draining split with a high class hooker in singapore because i was enamored with having a tall, super model type girl on my arm but wasn’t willing to pay the money of a hooker of this caliber nor invest the emotional currency to maintain a relationship with a prostitute.

relatively closed country

i am curious to see if one is able to extend the visa more than once beyond the initial 30 day period. i don’t think you can pull the visa run thing in uzbekistan…but i may be wrong.

uzbekistan is a police state and this is evinced when the president goes to work every am and one sees 5000 (no shit) police and militia line the road where the president travels along. i tried to take a picture of this but had my camera grabbed.

don’t go there discussing politics of any kind. uzbeks are genuinely scared of talking about the govt. people and their families have and still do disappear for engaging in political dissent.

that being said, i was only picked up once by the police and it wasn’t random. after the ice was broken it was a rather pleasant experience…they were just curious about my line of work and life experiences.

***a note about fsu countries. the men in uniform attempt to be very… manly… and turn to little boys if one can be a decent raconteur about a hot zone experience. from moscow to almaty, i have had grown men’s eyes light up when they see that i was in iraq and afghanistan. they also ask cheesy ass questions like, “was it difficult there?” to which, after stifling my erupting laughter, reply equally as corny, while frowning ever so slightly and looking at the ground, “da, it was very challenging, the enemy was determined; but i overcame this challenge as a result of my training and dedication.”

i know i know. but these commie security personnel eat this sit up.***

the people there will try and overcharge and nickel and dime you. but as long as you are respectful and take it all in stride it’s not too much of a burden.

Good:

The people there are nice and hospitable and the lack of many Westerners there still affords one an off the bat novelty factor…this is no longer true in Kiev, Odessa, or Chisinau.

The girls are pretty good looking and easy to talk to…it’s not Odessa or Latvia...but the numbers are still there.

The city has a decent nightlife.

There are lots of decent attractive women there….it’s an ideal place to grab a wife from. The women there hold conservative values re marriage and family and I don’t think they’d be the type to concoct a marriage and dump plan like some Ukrainian chicks have plotted to do.

I like Tashkent and hope that it doesn’t turn into another Chisinau.

Looks of the Girls

Statistically speaking, I believe that the average girl in Moldova is better looking than the average girl in Uzbekistan. Moldova seems to have an abundance of 6.0-7.2 women. While some women in Uzbekistan are very beautiful, there are some ethnic Uzbeks that can be quite ugly. It’s been my experience that ethnic women [Indian Arab, Stanian ()] are either very beautiful or very ugly. However, Uzbekistan has more stunners left than Moldova does. It’s possible to find 8s and 9s in Tashkent while in Moldova those types of women are long gone.

I originally was in Moldova in ’05, and while the Grade A chicks had been picked over, there were still some stunners around. Now, in Chisinau, most of the C-level chicks have gotten out. The best that you can hope for in Chisinau now are students that haven’t left yet.

Conversely, while many top level Uzbek chicks may be out of the country, they seem to return much more frequently than the Moldovan chicks do. In essence, while the Golden years may have already passed Tashkent by, there are still more than enough good looking women to go around.

This is not true in Moldova.

Also, remember, Tashkent has around 3 million people and Chisinau has less than a 1/3rd of that (750k); therefore, the mathematics of the game favor Tashkent.

Competition

I was recently back in Chisinau to see my buddy’s baby, and I was shocked at how jaded the scene there had become. I went to Drive with an old fling of mind that now lives in Hamburg, and the place was FULL OF SEX TOURISTS—Greeks, Italians, a gang of Turks, and two Dutch guys.

And Jews from Israel…some of them doing business there, many simply saying that they do…but all of them trying to play the big fish in the pond.

In Tashkent, the only Westerners I saw there were at the Irish Pub or at my table in the disco—and when my German mate wasn’t up to go out it was just me.

Availability of P4P

Perhaps this is the most disappointing aspect of the scene for Moldova: there is no defined sex industry in Kishinev. Unless one lives there long term or has connections, it’s not easy to find quality P4P in Moldova…or rents an apt from Essi ()… Any decent Moldovan hooker is plying her trade outside of Moldova.

In Tashkent, there are defined P4P locations: Diplomat, Rich Club, Skybar, and Julianos. All of these places have tons of *****s in them for reasonable rates.

Attitude of girls

Tashkent wins hands down. These girls are not spoiled-- even though some of them have been--and have an air of eastern hospitality about them.

I was truly impressed with the niceness of the girls in Tashkent. This may have been because I am of prime marriage age and many of the girls there are seriously marriage minded.

I visited a few marriage agencies, looking for serious potential mates and I was not disappointed.

I Moldova, the girls are jaded, or should be by now, and they are blatantly looking to suck something from you. In Tashkent, they are as well, but not as blatantly.

The one positive that Kishinev has over Tashkent is that the Moldovan girls are very fun loving and are always up for a party. Anytime you wanna take them out and drink they are up for it..they just can’t say no. In Tashkent, they try to appear more conservative.

Stuff to do aside from P4P

Moldova sucks. I lived there and had to get the fuck outta there every other weekend or I went nuts….except for pussy the place is small and barren and full of dumb ass dudes.

Uzbekistan has the mountains, a decent lake, and some great historical sites in Buhkara and Samatkand. I guess once you do them once it’s enough, but weekend jaunts in Moldova are restricted to Bucharest and Pionna Brasov which can cost some dough and require a visa for the dwamna.

Misc

The Uzbek masses, like the Moldovan proletariat, are a fairly dumb lot, but they seem to be more hospitable and are more tolerant.

Both places are fairly safe, and Uzbekistan is a politically repressive police state. That’s splendid for you and me because 5-0 will make reasonably sure that you are not jacked. I would not go frolicking around in the South by the Afghan border or in the area that borders Tajikistan unless one wished to be acquainted with Kalashnikov version of fundamentalist Islam

I got drugged and robbed by some hookers in Chisinau a few years ago, but, surprisingly, I bear no grudge re the incident and find it more humorous than anything else…if I only I could have gotten my memory stick back.

Infrastructure

Moldova, likely by virtue of proximity to Europe, takes the prize here. One can use credit cards at ever-growing locations in Kish and ATMS are plentiful. In Tashkent, the lack of ATMs is a real *****. The few ones they do have are always out of money, rely on a dial up connection, and normally result in the issuing bank blocking the card until you call them to confirm that you are, in fact, attempting to withdraw money in Uzbekistan. One must rely on cash advances which can result in huge usage fees by the time the local bank takes its 3-4% commission and your own bank charges its own foreign transaction fees.

Moreover, in Moldova 1000 lei notes are printed which is about 80 bucks; in Uzbek the largest note is 100 som which is equivalent to 75 cents. You literally have to walk around with a sac full of money for a decent night on the town.

Tolerance

While this won’t matter to most mongers, the women of Uzbekistan are much more tolerant and open minded than the women in Moldova are. Uzbekistan is an incredibly diverse place, the people there have to get along, and the Uzbeks stereotype much less than the people in Moldova do. Although I would not doubt if someone went to Tashkent perpetuating ethnic stereotypes they would be accepted, but, it’s not an automatic like in Kish.

I’m curious to know what Prosal’s take on Tashkent is.

The one thing that we may me differ slightly on is that I found that the girls in Tashkent were very willing to hang out with me and not foreigner shy like in Moldova. My guess is that this can be contributed to the fact that the girls thought that I was serious dude and saw me as a potential long term mate. DirkDingy is actively looking to get of the game and to settle down with a beautiful, intelligent, former athlete; the girls were aware of this and acted accordingly.

I hope this helps.

Once again you're right on the money in your posts and there's no many things to add.

I've personally loved Tashkent and I definitely gonna make it my new front.

I'd like to warn anyone who think about going there someday though. Tashkent is IMHO a viable option ONLY for guys who've already done dozens of other places, who are willing to go through all the hoops and otherwise to get there and are ready to accept a "provincial FSU" everyday lifestyle, with all the materialistic drawbacks, the moments of immense boredom and solitude, the hassles and the absurd situations that it implies.

Well, IMHO the "hip" places in Tashkent carry the same density of outrageously gorgeous women than in Kiev or Riga (with a much wider variety of ethnicities in Tashkent though), but I agree that if you leave the cosmopolitan bowels for the suburbs and the provinces then the ratio of really hot girls must be fairly lower, unlike Ukraine or Latvia. Anyway for me the numbers of fuckable girls in Tashkent is largely good enough to monger there for the next 20 years.


Same Page?
About the Irish Pub bartender, yeah, I almost agree with you. I'd give her a 7.5, even if she is surely a 8.5/9 to the dozens of potbellied expats who can't restrain from drooling all over the bar when they look at her. I've shagged two or three better non-pros Tashkent, including a 28 yo world-class stunner (russian-ethnic) I met at the Radisson's pool, owner of the hippest hair salon in town and close friend of the President's daughter ..a lofty score indeed.

Page ? ...to me a 8.5/9 is a James Bond girl, and a 9.5/10 a goddesse coming down straight from Olympos Mons, let's say Aphrodite or Pallas Athena.

Don't misinterpret though. After 75 cl of vodka I could fuck a pig. Yeah, ok ..I've fucked pigs also ...duh..I should give up drinking ..sometimes it really makes me too horny. :)

Off to Bucuresti tomorrow.

Good day! I wanna travel to Uzbek (specially Tashkent) for mongering and want your kind help on the following since I wanna make an official tour out of my company:

1. How do I get a visa (British born but a resident & national of Pakistan)

2. Need some information on where the chemical manufacturing companies are mostly clustered in Uzbek.

If you guys can share some info, please PM me (preferably) so that other members do not get bothered.

Apologies in advance if my note offends any member of the ISG forum.

With all the trouble Drek and Prudesol went to, to film street scenes and bazaar spices, they could have at least posted some Uzbek dyevochkas, even forgiving them for a total lack of porn or even some girls in bra and panties,......

but not even one female, just at the bazaar or on a damn sidewalk, after ALL that bragging?

Speaking with a girl, she told me that due to the fact no one can officially buy Usd at national banks, there are two exchange rate about Soums and USD $, the one bad but official change in bank at 1$=1500 soums and the second one non official but at 1$= 1750 soums.

Is it true or just a bullshit ?

She offered to help to change at 1750 soums at non official market, so maybe so far as TSK seems a safe city, I could try to change at this rate little amount of bucks and if it works, then to change always with her.

Any suggests ?

Is it true or just a bullshit ?
Black market offers better rates than banks, but I don't recall that the difference is that important. I've very rarely changed in banks though.

Anyhow you don't need anyone to help you to change your $$$. During daytime, you can change to the informal changers in front of Demir Mall. It's very reliable guys who make transaction on transaction with locals all day long (under the eyes of the militzia). However remember that the biggest bill is 1000 sums, so better change $100 by $100. Personally I never change more than $150 at one time ....it's some 250 bills, enough to fill full jeans front pockets, and to leave almost no place for a mobile phone !

At night, change at bars. I use to change my $$ either at JSmockers during dinner or later at Diplomat or FM Bar, but any place will do it. No need to recount. Uzbeks are genuinely honest. They are excessively proud also. The act of recounting in front of them is IMHO pretty offensive and will immediately target you as a suspicious, direspectful and timorous sucker, which you certainly do not want. Especially in your favorite bar.

Also remember that there's only four or five ATMs (Visa) in the whole city, and that they are frequently out of service or unable to find a connection. They give only us$ BTW.

So take cash (us$, not €). No need to worry at customs. Unlimited import of foreign currencies is allowed :

Thanks Prosal, very helpfull as always.

Allow me two other questions, please :

- Did you pay the pro in $ or soums ? I mean, if average price is 100$ for all night, maybe it is easier, if they accept, to pay with one banknote of 100$ and leave the soums for beer and food.

- However at airport, I guess there is ATM and change office too, right ? I hope open even at night time

Yeah, I paid pros with us$. Bring $50 notes, as some girls (especially the "occasionals" or "weekenders") might be happy with only that.

There's one ATM at the airport. Which could be - or not - out of service. The NBU change counter is closed late at night.

Uzbek bellydancing.

The singer is rather average but the dancers deserve a closer look. Typical Uzbek assets.

There's bellydancing floor shows, with generally outrageously hot tall and curvaceous girls, at almost every club in Tashkent.

Persian culture is very strong in Uzbekistan. Truly exotic.

be careful exchanging on black market. it is illegal.

even locals say it is dangerous. for small amounts($100?) generally it should be safe(still no guarantee), but for bigger amounts one can be set up and arrested by the police, followed by confirep001ion of the money and high fine.

when somebody finds out you're a foreigner, it automatically creates a good opportunity for them to make money from you.

it is better to always exchange $ with trusted people and not on the street. or better ask a local friend to do exchange for you.

those who pay money in the range $50-$100 to working girls are crazy and screwing the market for themselves and everybody else.

a good monthly salary here is around $200-$300. girls here would be happy to get $20-$30 and its better to pay local currency, such as 40k($20) soms. also some girls charge 25k, and some only 10k($5). of course many of them do not look too good, it takes time to find good ones.

No you are being conned, no tour is needed. Just ask your hotel to send confirmation.

Sherton is occasinaly girl friendly, hotel uzb is best for that.Yes, that did out to be be true about the travel agent.

Night boys at ex-Sheraton / Mirkazy run their little shakedown scam on guests bringing girl in. Only upside is girl does not have to register at desk, so if yours has no document or is adversive to having her name on the record, then the Mirkazy is for you. Heard. Secondhand from girl. That something similar occurs at InterContinental. Next time apartment for me.

Depends who you're renting from...? Or, not?

Went to the office with my landlord, who queued up and took care of business. Down one flight of stairs, the director had to approve my registration. He had one glance at the paperwork, then said tourists had to stay in a hotel. Registration refused!

Unless your landlord has great connections, forget about it!

When he said refused, I'd surely try to.... say sorry, sorry.....you are sooo right and discretely put 50 euro in his hand with a smile and ask please..... cause for us it is almost no money, but for him it is surely a lot and so far you did nothing bad, for him was a no-problem to accept, even cause he surely thought that one turist gives me 50 euro for visa, he will speak with other, even if not many turists, but I can earn some money in this very easy way....

As when militia-police stops you with a tochka in the car that has no ID, it immediately seems you did something so bad, as if you robbed in a bank, but all this in FSU it is often "to convince" you to brib them....

Maybe it is not so fair to brib for something you have the right to have, I know, but in FSU there are "laws" no written that it is better to know in advance to avoid problems....imho.

Loso if I was you, I'd try again in this way tomorrow.

You have nothing to lose, despite 50 euro, and a lot to get....

I wish you to have soon visa, cause I know as such things can easily kill the mood when they happen so far from your home town....

Unless your landlord has great connections, forget about it!With a business visa (which I always applied to go Uzbekistan, because of the length of my stays) landlord has to pass through a hotel (usually a backpacker place). He CAN'T do it by himself. Hotel takes a fee of about 2us$/day.

What you say is weird though. I thought that a landlord could register you with a tourist visa. But, well, this is Fuckistan, no rules.

Arrived here 2 days ago and would like to connect with other mongers. I was here back in November for approx. 20 days. Will check out the city and report back. It's wintry cold now so streetwalkers are pretty much absent. I went to the new Opera House and took a stroll there on a sunny afternoon to take some pictures. Met a young girl who was also taking pictures and asked if she was local. As it turned out she was. Said she was a univ. Student. Pretty good English though I had to speak more slowly and pronounce words clearly. She took me via taxi (paid 3, 000 soums) to Amir Temur park (no more park) and took some more picture. I invited her to dinner at my hotel and after dinner she left. The next day she called saying I treated her like a princess and would like to see me again. I cannot neither speak Russian nor Uzbek so she picked me up at my hotel and we took a walk in Pushkin Park. We had dinner again and she ended up staying with me. I did not touch her other than giving her a goodnight hug & kiss. I registered her in the morning and gave her the extra card for the door. She surprised me when I got back to the hotel later on that early evening she was in my room with some dinner. Apparently she stayed there all day and managed to get my clothes washed and ironed. That evening we had a wonderful time and almost did the deed until she whispered to me that she was still a virgin. NO! Not in this country! We cuddled all night but nothing more.

Just to confirm to Prosal, I will be moving to an apartment soon and this is to confirm that you CANNOT register to stay in private residence while on tourist visa. You can always stay in private residence but you risk the high penalty when the 'green cucumbers' check your passport and do not see registration. Someone at the office got stopped by one of those guys and he lied about where he stayed (though he stayed at Dedeman before moving to his apartment). Those guys actually called the hotel and when they found out he was no longer registered at the hotel, they slapped him with almost $3,000 penalty. He managed to negotiate the penalty down to $2,000 but he did not get any receipt. Registration is quite simple and it is practically free. The only cost was the notarization of the apartment leasing contract.

So I suppose you have a business visa? Yes, I have a business visa. I am not sure where you have to apply for your visa. I applied for mine when I was in Korea (I am a US citizen). Whether it was proper and dumb luck, I was able to get a business visa without having to submit any invitation letter from the inviting company (none actually). The consular officer at the embassy just asked some questions and. I got a business visa. There is a strong connection between Uzbekistan and Korea.

Aaah, I forgot to share with you guys (I presume we are all guys here). Here is the trick:

- You rent an apartment.

- You then find an el cheapo hotel and register your name there (of course, you grease some palms)

- Then you ARE registered and make sure you carry the el Cheapo hotel card (insert it in your passport book).

- In Uzbekistan you always have to carry your passport, though the laws say you have to have it (of course, duhhh) and you are to be given some time to prove that you have a passport.

- When some bodrings (green cucumbers) stop you, just show your passport and voila the card will fall off. Bodrings will ask you what that card is for and you simply say that it is where you stay. If curious, Bodrings will call the el-Cheapo hotel but not to worry because you are registered there.

- Why are you in the area? Oooh you are just visiting someone.

Make sure the el Cheapo hotel is cooperative. Good luck.

What I have read in this thread so far, it's not necessary to stay in an apartment since the Uzbekistan hotel on 45 Khamza street is girlfriendly. Does this mean, I can bring any girl from outside into my hotel room in the Uzbekistan hotel without paying anything to anybody?

I would travel with a tourist visa to Uzebekistan and would like to avoid to book a hotel for registration and an apartment together.

Many countries in FSU such when it come to things to do outside of chasing girls, but Uzbekistan is definitely different on this matter.

Great reportage from the very good site englishrussia.

The "Caravan Group", which owns not only the best Uzbek and Georgian restaurants in town, but also the famous Chelsea Pub, has reactualized its site. Worth a look for someone looking for culinary pleasures in Tashkent. For each venue, a location plan, a video and the menu prices.

PS: By the way, I've ben contacted by PM by some guys thinking about Tashkent for this summer, so a warning: Ramadan begins on 20 July this year, and therefore Tashkent isn't a very good option. Despite the fact that everything will be open and alcohol will be served, there's a significant drop of customers in bars and clubs during this period.
