Tashkent

Hi,

Last month, my boss said he had bad news for me, I had images of my P45 in front of my eyes. Then when he told me I was having to go to Uzbek I thought "Great".

I did the usual homework to suss the country out, and now I can't wait to get there, it sounds fascinating. Last week when I was given the brief, I was to learn that I will be staying in Bakhura for three weeks.

So, having read the forum here, I am a bit saddened to get the feeling that by the time I come home, my batlls will be at my knees.

PLEASE. Can someone assure me that there is some action in the Bukhara area. Has anyone got experience of the scene there? Is there a scene there?

On the assumption that there is nothing going. What are the logistics involved in getting to Tashkent on my days off from Bukhara?

Next problem. I know no Russian. There will be a translator for me when I get there (. And trust me, knowing my luck, it will be a HE! ).

Go on. I need an insiders valuable insight to the area.

I go in a fortnight, please make me look forward to it more.

[/QUOTE]

Its more than 200 miles through mountains, so you'll spend all day in a bus
or a train to get one way.

there is a hotel, with a night club attached which is full of brass. (see my earlier reports). If you want to visit tashkent you will have to fly, not expensive though.

Hi Folks,

Thanks for all the info in this forum.

I will be visiting tashkent in March 2008 and i notice that the Le Meridian has changed names and does not have any indication that the Sky Club still exists in the hotel.

Do any of you know of the latest developments and if there is a change what are the "GIRL Friendly" hotels now.

I will report soon after my trip.

[QUOTE=Roger Nebel]list will be updated, I can't remember all my fav places right now[/QUOTE]
Hi Roger

I have 3 weeks vacations in March and very seriously ponder about leaving the moldovian and romanian dyevs for awhile to explore Tashkent (thanks to your previous post) and finally check by myself how fine are those Uzbek multi-ethnic beauties.

If you don't mind I'd have a few questions.

Is there in Tashkent, like in Chisinau, some upper-scale malls with trendy cafes (food court ?) where regular poontangs, and possibly "occasionals" or "semi-pros", congregate on afternoons and evenings ?

Also you didn't elaborate about the strip bars scene. I personally love strip bars ... when they're cheap !! Any other place than FM Bar that you could recommend ?

And at last, any update about your fav spots, and is there among them some kind of "after-hours", i.e. a place more busy than the others late at night, especially on weekdays ?

Thanks a lot.

If we ever meet up the first 10 Coronas will be on me. ;)

Honestly, if it's for a longer vacation with ladies added, I wouldn't recommend traveling to Tashkent. It's just a little too far and thus too expensive for a special trip, in my view, if you're not anyway somewhere near. But if you combine it with some culture holiday (culture more as in "historic" than in multi-ethnic beauties), then why not. You'd probably add a day or two in Samarqand, a day or two in Bukhara, and a trip to Chiwa/Urgench. There's not much hunting in any of these places, but they're great to see and explore.

Regarding your questions:

- There is one such mall, yes; I've never tried any hunting there, though I suppose it's well possible. The place is located a hundred meters off the "Broadway", and is hard to miss (it's the same place, by the way, where FM Bar is located). I think the best place for occasionals or semi-pros would be Broadway itself, and a few of the streets nearby, especially the one between this mall and Broadway.

- There are no "real" strip-bars in Tashkent. FM Bar is a place where lots of very beautiful ladies dance in swimsuits; and many of them are open to meet you later on, or on the next day. There are other strip clubs, but I've only seen two or three of them, and they are really not the kind of places I'd visit more often.. FM Bar seems to be the best pick so far. And yes. It is cheap. As said earlier, a 2 or 3$ tip is enough for these brief massage sessions (or a lap dance, if that's more your taste).

- After-hours: Chelsea Pub is normally open until 6 or even 7am, and is a possible place for after-hour hunting; but as I wrote it's hit or miss, and frequently you won't meet any ladies there, except for the girlfriends of people whose girlfriends you certainly don't want to be seen talking to.

Except for that, I'd stick to the main clubs (including the hotel nightclubs) and maybe to SMI for late-night action. You'll meet pros and semi-pros in the clubs for sure, and some 'regular girls' at SMI. SMI is a restaurant/pub/club, quite small, located at Oybek street number 32. The other places from my earlier list are likely closed late at night.

Another club to check out is the one that used to be called Barkhan and, by my knowledge, has changed the name. It's at Rashidova 40, and a common meeting place for late-night after-hour drinks. The amount of pros or semi-pros will be small to maybe even zero, but you'll certainly meet some girls who might be interested in you. But, as always in those places (including K. T. Komba), be careful whom you talk to. I'm very serious about this, you don't want to annoy any (wannabe-)boyfriend of any lady you might meet there. There are people in these clubs with whom you should really avoid trouble; there's not much of a rule of law in Tashkent so far, and the other ways in which matters might be settled between you and a pissed-off local male member of the Jeunesse Doree will certainly not add to your travel pleasure.

Thanks for the precisions, greatly appreciated.

I like places where I can monger 24/7 (well almost) and party 7/7, and Tashkent seems pretty good in that respect. Also 2 millions inhabitants is three times the size of Chisinau. That surely makes lots of available pussy.

If I decide for Tashkent I'll contact you by PM before leaving.

Thanks again.

Hi guys,

I will be in Tashkent first week of March for six days, It is my third time and will stay again at Hotel Le Grande Plaza which is girl friendly and has the Sky Club on the last floor. I will be there for business but in the evening it could be nice maybe to meet some of you (Prosal or Revcollin) for a beer and for some girl chatting.

If interested you can send me a PM

Bye

I am alone in Tashkent and have just arrived. I would be grateful if you could address me to some girls, nice looking, whom I can invite to my place. In fact, I have rented an apartment in town.

Plenty of Venues with 'normal girls" If WG you require go to Sky club or Dedeman hotel.

Gents,

To update you on the scene in Tashkent.

Lap Dance Clubs

Diplomat - Now moved from the top floor of the "Le Grand Plaza" aka Tata
Hotel to the basement around the back of the same complex.
Nice girls - they have a VIP room where you can get a full strip
tease - but that is only if the girls wants. Entry was 5000 cym
about US$ 4 - beer costs about the same. Very stict no "groping"
at the women policy.
FM Bar - Zarafshan Complex - Broadway. Small place with a single pole
dance floor where the girls (some really nice) come and dance in
turns. Whilst 1 girl dances, the others mill about and you can
choose between a lap dance or a "shoulder massage" - Lap
dance or shoulder massage lasts 1 song. Tip has gone up from
2000 cym ($ 1.5) to 3000 cym ($2.30) for either. Beers are
reasonable at approx 4000cym. Women are non pushy. You have
to be a "regular" to get phone numbers from the dancers. Again
"no groping" at tits etc policy. Anything too close between the
legs and the dancer will very gently move your hand away.
Cover charge 5000 cym / person will be added to your bill.

Zarafshan Walk towards boradway from FM and take a left, just around the
corner, there is another club ( forgot the name) which also has
a single pole and same concept as FM - but women not as
friendly. This seems to me a place or the younger Uzbek crowd
cheaper than FM, norect "groping" , lap dance or shoulder
massage for 1 song = 2000 cym. Cover charge 5000 cym/person

There are other lap dance clubs as well - there is one on Shota Rustaveli very near Askia Bazaar - on the right side in the basement - no big signs - you have to know that one. 2 seperate dance rooms - women here allow much more touchy feeling and squeezing rather than in ay of the above. This
place caters to the "quick one after the office" , opens 6 in the evening and
shuts down by 9 / 9 30 in the evening. Women are more open to giving numbers - lap dance with "touchy feely" option - 2000 cym. Watch out on
the prices of food here - cover charge 5000 cym/person.


Pick up disco's

Juliano's ( Atleast 70-100 WG's) 5000 cym cover charge entry
Rich Club (Dedeman Hotel 10-15 WG's) 5000 cym cover charge entry
Sky Club - Moved from the penthouse floor of the Tata hotel to the basement
around the back. Security regulates the entry of WG's into Sky
since the re-opening on 14th Feb.

Regular Night clubs

Baccara
From Dusk Till Dawn

Nice Pubs (No WG's) - but great place to meet expats and make freinds.

Chelsea
Irish Pub

Tashkent has a whole host of smaller cafe,pubs where you can find WG's or single women non pro who after a few vodka's could be persuaded to come back to your hotel with you for $ 50/70. Pro WG usually knows the drill of having to register her pp with the reception - who will add a surcharge to your room rate. Intercon is NOT girl friendly. Check with your hotel on their setup - bell boy the best - so you don;t come back thinking you're going to have a nice time only to end up having to pay her taxi fare back because of
the "registration" with reception issue.

Pro WG rates from Juliano's and the other pick up bars - US$ 50 to $ 100, depending on time of evening weekday or weekend and how much interest punters are showing in your woman of choice. Anything more - tourist rates.

Meal for 2 with a couple of drinks in Tashkent should cost you 25-30000 cym - 1 US$ = 1300 cym approx at a nice "cafe/restaurant"

Couple of cafe reccomendations - Jumaji, Safari (take a right after Mexx showroom on Amir Temur Street)

Uzbek cuisine in a fancy place - Caravan - if you fancy they have a nice Japanese place right next door to Caravan.

Enjoy Tashkent.

[QUOTE=Prosal]I made some researches after reading Roger's post and found those sites :

[url]http://www.apartment.sk.uz/index.htm[/url]

[url]http://www.makler.uz/en/apartments.htm[/url]

Inquired by email about the rates for a two-rooms apartment and both answered in a very kind way, offering +/- us$500 for a one-month stay (IMO the right length of stay in Tashkent, as it seeems to be exactly the same kind of scene than Chisinau, where time is the key).

Tashkent seems dirt cheap compared to Almaty BTW.[/QUOTE]The one that gives classified advts. But it is easy to find a furnished 2 room flat in Tashkent for $200-250.

If you have any local Uzbek friend, he / she can easily help you. Uzbek's are enterprising people when it comes to trade and so while helping you, if he / she 'helps' himself / herself with $100 or so from the landlord, please don't mind. You won't actually as you won't find out! :)

Guys,

Do any of you know if one can hire a (female) translator / tour guide / companion for a few days while in Tashkent. I am sure the universities must have pretty young ones wanting to make some extra 'pocket money'.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Finally.. off to Tashkent from July 31 till Sept 9.

I bought the ticket today with a blend of excitement and apprehension. Also reserved an apartment, for us$ 650/month ($ 850 for the whole stay) , though apartment.uz. Anton, the manager, seems to be a cool guy.

Mylon, Roger .. anyone in town on July 31 late ? (flight arrives at 20.45) ..what's best on a thusdays night ? ..first rounds of Coronas are for me.

:)
