Topic 17: What is your best childhood memory? Day 4.
All right, then. Let’s welcome our guest for the next two months.
Hello, everyone. I’m Umida Halilova. Please call me Umi.
Umi. Welcome, Umi.
Nice name.
Yeah. Please tell us a little about yourself.
I come from Uzbekistan. I have been living in Japan for the past 10 years. Currently, I am a full-time employee in (an) energy company. In my free time, I like painting, playing ukulele, or doing sports. It just really depends on the weather and (my) mood.
Umi, where is Uzbekistan?
That’s a good question. It is located in Central Asia, and it is right in the middle of all (the) different “stan” countries, like Kyrgyzstan (Kyrgyz Republic), Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan. And Uzbekistan is right in the center of those countries.
So, what does “stan” mean?
“Stan” means “land.” For instance, if it’s Uzbekistan, then it means “land of Uzbek people.”
Okay.
Wow. Can you tell us, what are some good places to visit in Uzbekistan?
Since I come from Samarkand, I would definitely suggest visiting Registan Square, which has lots of blue domes (in a) turquoise color, which is very famous.The buildings?
Yes. But my favorite one is local bazaar.
Oh, a local bazaar.
Yes. It’s like a supermarket but in a very old-fashioned way. If you go to a bazaar on (an) empty stomach, you will definitely come out with your stomach full because they have everything there, starting from dairy products, sweets, fruits, vegetables. And if it’s summer, melon, watermelon. And you can try them all for free before you buy.
Oh, wow.
Yes. And not only food, we have shoes, clothes, bags. So, basically, anything you need, you can find in the bazaar.
So, you have to go to (a) Samarkand bazaar.
Absolutely.
In Uzbekistan.
Yes.It sounds interesting.Yes. What local foods would you recommend?
My number one recommendation would be trying Samarkand bread.
Samarkand bread.
Yes.
What is the bread like?
It’s round and big. Approximately 30 centimeters.
Oh, that is big.
And it’s very heavy, like, two kilograms, just one bread alone.
So, do you buy a big loaf of bread and eat it by yourself or…?
Usually we like eating bread with family.
Oh, okay.
Because families are usually big in Uzbekistan.
So, the whole family will share this big, two-kilogram loaf.
Yes. And it will last only one, two days.
Oh, wow!
Follow me!
