What could the young man be angry about?
Piece of cake!
👍 It was indeed about the closeness between boy and girl. Gender separation (=separating men and women) is strictly enforced (=make people follow a rule) in rural Uzbekistan and it is taboo (=unacceptable) to display (=show) affection (=liking, loving) for each other as a couple.
👎 Uzbeks don’t usually mind people taking photos, unless it’s of tunnels or bridges (some Cold War / Soviet taboo perhaps?). It’s also not a big deal if a foreigner goes to an Uzbek wedding empty-handed as Uzbeks are very forgiving and don’t expect foreigners to know about Uzbek traditions. And finally, stepping onto someone’s private property doesn’t freak anyone out (=doesn’t make anyone very angry) in Uzbekistan.

#21 It’s a strange world: Not In My Back Yard
❓A new shopping mall, a new prison, a new railway line, a new military base, a new power plant, a new airport – all good and necessary, you will probably say. But what if any of this is built right where you live?
❗️ Local residents often protest against such projects and politicians, planners and businesses have a hard time (=find it difficult) convincing them. The term “NIMBY” is an acronym (=a word creation in which each letter stands for one word) for “Not In My Back Yard” and is used to dismiss (=refuse sb’s idea or opinion) local opposition (=being against) against large construction projects.
