This & That 🇺🇿Uzbekistan #5: A longish bike trip
▶️ Last weekend I went to a village in the Tashkent Region. As always there's a lot to discover on the way:
City vs Region
As soon as you cross the border into the region things get shabby (=low quality). The roads, the houses, the cars, just everything. While I'm not shocked by shabbiness I'm shocked by the difference. It'll be difficult to close the widening gap between Tashkent and the regions in the future.
The Riverside
There was a faster route staying on the main road but I thought riding by the riverside would be nicer. I was wrong. The river is barely (=almost not) visible and it's an industrial zone more than a recreational area (=place to relax). Dusty unpaved (=no pavement, no asphalt) roads with one truck after the other don't make for (=result in) a pleasant ride.
On a lighter note (=less sad or serious), I saved a kitten from getting run over and just as I was holding it a car stopped next to me and I gave it to them. Meouw!
