My aim was to visit at least 100 countries, and with Brazil, I finally did it. I'm now loitering at 104. Or is it 105, I lose count...

Thanks Cessna152 Hi Cessna152,
Thanks for the fantastic blog that you wrote about Tashkent. I am moving there in July to teach at an International School, and it has been quite difficult to find out what the place is like for a foreigner.

Glad you found it helpful, especially if you're moving there. Like I said though, I was really sursprised about Tashkent. And you'll have to let me know what it's like teaching there. My wife and I currently teach in an international school in Qatar and are always on the look out for other places.
Definitely worth to visit again I unfortunately only had few days in Tashkent & surroundings, but I really enjoyed it a lot. It's now definitely a country I want to explore more with my backpack, as many others before.
Am sharing one of the pictures I took on Independence Square in Tashkent on my blog. Maybe you like it and others from around the world:
