bukhara

hosegriado ezerrel... hat igen, mire szamitson az ember a sivatag kozepen? bar a net szerint csak 34 fok van, de sztem osszecsereltek a ket szamot... egyszeruen masbol nem all a nap, mint vizivasbol es huvos helyekre valo menekulesbol...

na, jo, ez azert nem igaz. szoval itt vagyok bukhara-ban. vonatjegy csak elso osztalyra volt, ugyhogy masfel euro rafizetessel fullos, hatalmas borulesben utazhattam. es meg privat plazmateve is volt... mintha valahol nyugaton lennek. (: persze, azert mindent a helyi viszonyoknak megfeleloen kepzeljetek el! pl bukhara-ba csak napi egy vonat van, es ez az egesz menetrend:

megneztem ma kozep-azsia osszes mecsetet, es mindent, aminek tornya, ablaka, vagy egyaltalan bejarata van:

3 ora hosegben valo seta utan beultunk egy remek helyre, ahonnan egy csomo minden latszott a fentiekbol. kicsit persze hasonlit samarkand-ra, es khiva-tol sem varok nagyon kulonbozot a kovetkezo nehany napban...

bevallom, kicsit kezd elegem lenni a helyi arusok eroszakossagabol. es kicsit kiabrandito, hogy a gyonyoru, tobbezer eves epuleteket ellepik az arusok, es minden sarkon tukmaljak rad a leheto legkevesbe hasznalhato ajandektargyakat... kicsit elrontja a hely hangulatat ):

hot... soooo hot... unbelievable. but what can one expect in the middle of the desert? the internet says it is only 34 C, but i think they mixed the two numbers... i just cannot do anything but looking for water, sitting, and suffering a bit, when walking (:

ok, this is not 100% true. here i am in bukhara. there was train ticket only for the first class, so for an extra 1.5 eur i could enjoy a huge leather seat, even with private plasma. of course the local one - i mean one from china.

i saw all the minarets and medressas that can be found nearby. here it goes:

after 3 hours of walking in hot, we found a great place, on the top of a 2-storey house, where they served very tasty food. i could enjoy an amazing view of the above mentioned buildings.

the place itself is very similar to samarkant, and i think that khiva will be a third place, that will look like this. but markets here are also amazing!

to be honest, i am a bit fed up with the agressive and pushy style of local sellers. i understand that they wanna sell everything, but there is a limit, when it's pretty hard to tolerate it... and it is a bit disappointing, that the beautiful, thousand-year old building are just full of sellers everywhere... kind of loosing the real value and athmosphere of the place ):
