Tashkent

[QUOTE=Prosal]Personally, as my stay largely exceeded one month (the maximum for a tourist visa), I applied in my local Uz consulate for a two monthes business visa, and it was granted without any questions asked nor any documents required. Talk about a easy process.[/QUOTE]Thanks! That helps a lot... Made some progress today and I think our travel agent will be able to arrange for the visa and since it is an official visit, I have been assured that it wouldn't be a problem. Will keep you posted on how it went.

Any idea on the Chemicals market or chemicals manufacturing companies locations?

Would appreciate if any member has any clue.

Thanks mate,

Cheers.

Bill,

here is a link for you. Hope it helps.

I was in Tashkent earlier this year but unfortunately didn't have an opportunity to monger myself. The only small bits of info I have are that my colleague was approached by hotel (male) staff at the former Sheraton whether he was looking for girls. I also suspected SWs in the Amir Temur park next to Hotel Uzbekistan.

Am going to be in Tashklent in a couple of weeks time for work and sounds like a good place to get some mongering in also. Couple of questions:-

- Anyone know whether Hotel Markaziy (former Sheraton) is GF ?
- Generally are the girls up for most things ?
- Prefer the Blond Slavic look, what places would you recommend ?
- Is the general price level still around $100 LT ?

- I stayed in an apartment so I'm not really sure about that, but Tashkent is pretty much a liberal place so you shouldn't have problems for bringing girls back in your hotel room.

- Most of the girls involved in prostitution in Tashkent are russian-ethnic, so no problems for you to find blond-haired blue-eyed Tatianas, Lenas or Svetlanas.

- Yeah, asking price for quality russian pussy is $100 LT. Best pros congregate in Diplomat. Be careful there though, not all girls are working.

Markaziy is most likely GF. It's the former Sheraton I was talking about in my previous post.

Prosal,

Thanks for the advice, look forward to my trip. Have also heard some horror stories about Tashkent airport. Any further advice of this would be appreciated.

I personally didn't experience any hassles nor "horror story" at Tashkent airport. Uzbek custom officers have a quite lax and relaxed attitude. I prefer 1000 x going through customs in Uzbekistan than in US or Australia where you inevitably have to endure intolerable inquisitions from fascist assholes.

Nevertheless the whole place is totally disorganized and you risk extremely long waiting lines if two or three flights arrive +/- at the same moment. To avoid losing time there is a VIP service which seems quite convenient and costs officially $50. One of the Diplomat bouncers, who also works part-time at airport security, told me that it's half cheaper if you have contacts and offered me his "services", that I gonna definitely use for my next trip to Tashkent.

Thanks & no offence meant by use of ''Horror Story'.

Am sure It can't be any worse than LHR !!!!

Are not at the Le Grande Plaza Hotel anymore.

In fact Diplomat look like a bad place and Sky Club exist but I do not now how easy it is to pick up girls there.

I think it is many places in the world that are much better than Tashkent if you are looking for girls and remember almost all girls look like Turk and some asian and there are very few blond girls - my best advice is to stay away.

Just plain wrong.

Sky Club is still in Grande Plaza Hotel, in the back of the complex.

[QUOTE=Prosal]Just plain wrong.

Was a bit disappointed with the Diplomat Club, but maybe just went on the wrong day of the week. Otherwise great time.

Word of advice on hotels, stayed in Hotel Markaisy, fine but a little drab and food sort of Ok (not more than 3-4 stars max), spend an extra $30-$40 per night and stay across the road in the Dedeman instead.

Women's variety and Silk Road cities are the two wonders of Uzbekistan. :)

I am going to Tashkent in ten days and would appreciate it if someone could show me around. I will buy the beers. I am a 43 year old Canadian who speaks a bit of Russian.

[QUOTE=Bill001]Dear fellow citizens of ISG,

I want to monger in Tashkent after having read so many reviews about it... can anyone help me with the following please:

1. How do I get a visa (A Pakistani resident working for a british MNC throughout my carrier and heading the organization in Pakistan) so what are the visa requirements?

2. Where is the chemicals industry located in Uzbekistan? I want to make a weeks official tour! Probably do some market research, set a few meetings and spare the evenings for mongering :)

Any help on the above two would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]Did you got your Visa ! If you need assistance PM me, may be there some links I have.

I will be in Tashkent sometime within the next two weeks. If you want, we can link up and I can show you around. I know the cool places and I know some girls in the game and some who just like to party.

Please tell me how much you pay for your visa. Thanks.
