I can remember that the last time when I went to a crowded place was last year on the 1st of September. I went to the parade, something like a parade. When everyone goes out and they have just strolling around the city, that was really exciting. I went there with my son and we both were very happy but, occasionally, we couldn’t get to the point, we couldn’t do what we wanted, what we were intended to do. But as there were a lot of people all around us, it was very noisy and crowded. After some time, I had a terrible headache and I asked my son and I explained to him that we had to go back home because I don’t like the aura that plays and it was very disruptive for me. What else I could say about that day? It was very noisy but there weren’t any cars because the roads were locked for people to go and stroll back and forth. Usually, we have twice a year such kind of parades. We had such kind of parades on the 21st of March. It’s the annual, it’s a new year celebration here in Uzbekistan and we have such kind of parade on the 1st of September. I can say that it was not a good and not a bad experience but it was an experience somehow.

I can remember that the last time I went to a crowded place was last year on the 1st of September. I went to a parade, something like a parade. When everyone goes out and is just strolling around the city, that was really exciting. I went there with my son, and we both were very happy, but occasionally, we couldn't get to the point; we couldn't do what we intended to do. As there were a lot of people all around us, it was very noisy and crowded. After some time, I had a terrible headache, and I explained to my son that we had to go back home because I don't like the atmosphere in such places, and it was very disruptive for me. What else can I say about that day? It was very noisy, but there weren't any cars because the roads were closed for people to stroll back and forth. Usually, we have such parades twice a year. We have parades on the 21st of March, which is the annual New Year celebration here in Uzbekistan, and we have a parade on the 1st of September. I can say that it was neither a good nor a bad experience, but it was an experience nonetheless.
