Well, I can talk about the capital of my city, of my country, which is Tashkent. About a year ago, when I was in my first year at the university, I participated in a kind of competition with my group mates, and somehow we won and we made it to the finals which were held in Tashkent. There were two reasons that I was really pumped about the competition. First, I was going there with my group mates and the second, I have never been there before. But on top of everything, all of the expenses were covered by the university including accommodation, transportation, even meals. And when we reached Tashkent I was really excited about that like about the view about the new experiences that are waiting for me and not only me but my group mates were also excited. We stayed up so late because of our excitement but still we managed to wake up early because of the responsibility that we have. And if I talk about the city itself, I really like the capital’s transportation system. In my hometown we mostly use mini buses, so-called damas, but in Tashkent I didn’t see any of them. Frankly speaking, I don’t really like this kind of transportation. I find them quite inconvenient, but in Tashkan they mostly use buses and the in private taxes. And another impressive thing was how green that city was. You cannot find as many trees as Tashkent in my old home.
