Hello there,

 

Sorry to be a bit late with this piece news but consumerism in the form of
Valentine's Day has also made it to Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan in
Central Asia.

 

I have uploaded some of my photos from that day.

 

We start off at one of the many flower ladies' shops:

Moving on to the kefir vendors just around the corner, not sure that they
got any flowers, on that either but they are some very stout women:

My kind of Volga:

The Caravan restaurant is a nice place, with some beautiful waitresses. I
might show some photos from there one day - new Misties are waiting...

Not sure if these guys have remembered to buy flowers for their loved ones
but then you never know, do you:

A Lady in Red - and wet snow:

Next stop, some hours later: Belly dancers at the hotels (a little bit of
fuzzulogics):

Good night, a view from my entrance door:

Thanks for looking,
