Tashkent's Chill: Where Budget Students & Street Food Collide
the current temp is...right now, hope you like that kind of thing. i just checked and it's...there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. seriously, 10.13°c feels like 9.13°c. brrr. but hey, at least the humidity's only 74%. pressure's 1020, so no storms brewing. just...cold. and grey. and maybe a bit damp. perfect for hiding in cozy cafes with questionable wifi.
i'm a budget student here, so my priorities are: cheap eats, free wifi, and places where i can nap without judgment. the weather's...there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. if you get bored, nearby cities are just a short drive away. like, literally. samarkand's a few hours east. bukhara's west. but honestly? i'm too broke to leave.
*overheard gossip: someone told me that the local street food is hit or miss. i heard that. but i found this hole-in-the-wall near the metro where the plov is legit. don't ask me which one, though. i got lost trying to find it.
pro tip: if you're feeling restless, nearby cities are just a short drive away. like, literally. samarkand's a few hours east. bukhara's west. but honestly? i'm too broke to leave.
budget survival guide:
- food: hit up the bazaars for cheap plov and shashlik. avoid the tourist traps near the main square.
- accommodation: hostels start at $5/night. bring earplugs.
- transport: metro is $0.15 per ride. buses are sketchy but cheap.
