I would like to talk about Tashkent, which is in Uzbekistan. Why do I like this place, and why have I chosen it among all the other countries I have visited? Because it exceeded my expectations. I had imagined that this country, in my opinion, seemed to be poor, dirty, and very underdeveloped. But when I arrived in this city, I was pleasantly surprised because the city was absolutely clean, full of roses and fountains. The people were very polite. There were many attractions, and there was a street, I don't remember the name, but it was a very wide boulevard, I think it was called Broadway. For the first time in my life, an artist drew my name with little pictures very quickly, maybe within 15 to 20 minutes, and I still have this picture. I keep it as a portrait. My time in Tashkent reminds me of very kind people and highly qualified specialists who helped me strengthen my body and health. They were really working hard, doing their best to improve my health. I forgot to mention that I visited this place because I went to the resort with my friend. The most surprising thing was the prices because everything was extremely cheap. They were three times cheaper than in Kazakhstan, and I could buy a lot of things.
