Silk Road Central Asia Uzbekistan

Lawyer very lively chirped clearly learned phrases: “a contract with the buyer turputevki, in accordance with the Civil Code, is an open and public act and, therefore, can not be terminated unilaterally by:

Cool! It turns out, to come to meet us (in that hard to believe): to solve our problems, we should collect (as we learned with the judge) all that the public (ie, the Muscovites), who were present at the conclusion of this transaction. But even if it were possible, it turns out to solve this problem based on our cost Uzbek travel agency not even going!

Since: Uzbekistan travel guide, signed a contract with the seller stays Central Asia Tour, transferred to them 100% VALUE: “. And, thus, the losses incurred by the Uzbekistan travel agency at 100% of the cost of the tour. “: What we have been notified in advance (something I do not remember) at the conclusion of the contract:”. Even the Lord God reserves in such cases, the sinners at least some hope. Travel company does not leave one percent of hope. : Abandon hope all ye who enter there included:

Incidentally, the judge almost fell from my chair when I heard this phrase from a lawyer. As it turns out, expressing their grievances, we are not bound by the articles of the Civil Code, on any “public acts, committed by nationals of Uzbekistan, as in this case, we have entered a buyers and sellers. AND PEOPLE nothing to do with. And we have every right to be guided by the regulations of the Code of Consumer Protection (which is approved by the Government of Uzbekistan in view of our civil rights). And we are not obliged (according to the judge) to delve into relationships with travel companies Uzbekistan seller stays Central Asia Tour.

Therefore, due to the fact that we were not able to take advantage of the proposed service (turputevkoy), the Court recognized the legitimacy of our claims and recovered from the defendant the full value of one of the unused vouchers, as well – a fine to the state for failure to fulfill its contractual obligations. PRECEDENT CREATED!

By the way, the lawyer tried to kick and wanted otsporit cost of the unused charter flight. What, they say, they do not return the money for the unused flight. Such conditions they have. At that the judge rightly said that all transactions are committed on the territory of Uzbekistan are governed by uniform legislation, and the buyer is not obliged to delve into the monetary relationship with a third party seller (see above).

A Uzbekistan travel agency , through its lawyer, advised to engage REALLY tourism industry of  Uzbekistan, and not collecting money from people.

Within 10 days of the signing of a court, travel agency could challenge him to a higher court, ie, in the Tashkent City Court. Of course, to do so they will not be for two reasons: – the second such disgrace their lawyer did not make, as if I was not sorry for her (she refuses to, or be fired after the second failure), – to hire an experienced lawyer, you want to pay him amount equal to one tenth of a claim (in our case it will be – $ 50 from a claim of $ 500). But! Lawyers refuse such work, if they share at the same time is less than $ 200!

Arrived:

By the way, if they have the courage to appeal and, thus, participate in the continuation of this fascinating series, we attach a lawyer. My close friend. It has long been interested in our judicial process (such unselfish sport scabies). All walks and moan: “Well, let me: Well let:” And I said to him: “Wait, is not the evening:”

P.S. Continuation was coming. I hope so.

P.S.S. Many thanks, from me and my family, all readers of detective for your time (I hope at least something has helped you), as well as all those who entered into correspondence with me (I think I did not hurt unduly?). Sorry if that is not so.

P.S.S.S. Edited this last (?) Chapter and I hasten to communicate the following. The bailiff, who handed over the court’s decision on this issue already, soon as a month, crying, that he could not find legal requisites “Uzbekistan” to recover money from them.

By the way, anyone knows the popular legal site on where to put the stories of victims (from the tourist industry, I already seem to gradually fallen out)? Tell if not more difficult.

It would like to share our little tour in Uzbekistan. This is quite a unique country, other times, special people. Here, nothing can compare with what or anyone. It is as if another planet, another world, another universe … I’ll start from the beginning.

We have a very long wanted to travel Uzbekistan (Samarkand, Bukhara). And then decided to organize a trip for 3 days in August. Preparing to start in advance. Three people came from Russia and two from Almaty (Kazakhstan), and it seemed that one can find many travel agencies offering tours to Uzbekistan, but alas …. if they have then taken the money simply unrealistic for it. We decided to look on the Internet in Uzbekistan. But even here the majority of travel agencies offering the tour cost much more than even our Kazakhstan. But suddenly in our field of vision’s Web completely randomly appears Rakhmatjon from Roxana Tours!

After the first Rakhmatjon response to our letter, we are not looking for anything more. I decided to organize all through him, as for a moment, not for a moment, we do not regret it. I can not find such words and emotions that we were able to express their gratitude to Rakhmatjon. This is a man with a capital letter! Responsible, reliable, interesting, attentive and charming! I think that our impressions of this magical country depended on 70 percent of Rakhmatjon. Thank him great !!!!!!!

So, we traveled by bus from Almaty to the Uzbek border. I do not even want to remember and tell what happened to us on her way to Kazakhstan, but about how we passed the Kazakh customs I generally keep silent. But as soon as we crossed the border of Uzbekistan, all fears and all weariness gone. And we got into a real fairy tale!

At the border we were met by Rakhmatjon on 2 comfortable cars. And we immediately went to Samarkand. By the time it took 3,5 hours. During this time we are a bit away from what happened to us. Along the way, drove road melon Bazarchik?. They stopped and we were treated melons. There is nothing sweeter and tastier Mirzachul melons? Once again confirm itself somewhere heard the expression “Melon – food wise. That’s right! Gentle, sweet melon flavor inspires and invigorates.

Samarkand

And here we are in Samarkand. They stayed at the hotel “Zarina”. Small hotel, very cozy and beautiful. We just drink green tea. We rested a bit and moved to conquer the unknown …

Rakhmatjon took us to the hills of ancient Afrosiab. It is difficult to convey the feelings that you’re there you experience: the joy of what you see listed ruins of the ancient city, from regret, the fact that you still can not see the beauty that you may possess the city; entrancement of history and legends, a great interest in 97% of the area of the city, which still no one had time to reveal their secrets.

Then we went to the mausoleum of St. Daniel. Place of extraordinary tranquility and peace … This is a place where you feel secure, where all your problems (which you had before your arrival) are transformed into funny little things … It’s so nice to sit on a bench under the pistachio tree, look at the quiet river running through the foot of the mausoleum, and not think about nothing … Oh yes, and yet there is a spring. Such TASTY water we have never drank!

Breathes history and observatory Ulugbek. You cover a pity from the fact that there was only a scintilla of this grand building.

When the sun is almost village we were in a complex Shakhi-Zinda mausoleums. I can not write and share what we saw! Very majestic and at the same time, restrained beauty of the mausoleums takes you knew where. Shakhi Zinda as eastern girl indescribably beautiful, but very modest and austere …

In the evening we dined at the restaurant (though I do not remember what it was called). There were lots of delicious food:) and worth all this is not very expensive.

The next day early morning we had a walking tour through the historic center. I liked very Bibi Honim and its history. From the Mosque we walked through the streets of Samarkand Registan Square.

At this time, Rakhmatjon did not stop telling the story of the city, about those people who visited here. And what it was a delight when we read Rakhmatjon excerpts of poems by Anna Akhmatova on Samarkand … Believe me, probably tAAAAto feel these poems, you can only when you are there you are!

We are still very much seen and visited. This madrasa Ulugbek, and Sher-Dor, Registan Square, and one of the most mysterious places in the history-Guri-Emir mausoleum (where the tomb of Tamerlane).

For lunch, we boarded the train and went to Bukhara.

Bukhara

In Bukhara we were greeted and brought to the hotel Amulet. Hotel is based in a former madrassa. Small, ооочень cozy and colorful. Personally, I was happy that we stopped there. Lived as if in a fairy tale. Decor hotel made entirely of antique items: pitchers, vases, ironing, etc.:). Very nice!

There we went to the bazaar, had bought a fruit, watermelon, various sweets and nuts. We supped in the old caravanserai, where at this time is that something like a restaurant, and where a show of Uzbek dances and fashion show. Here? Shaw liked the dinner did not like! If you go there, it was only on the show, and dinner can be in another place (and there are many places where you can eat tasty and cheap). Then we walked on the street the evening Bazarchik. And they were astonished at the kindness and sincerity of the people. We are, of course, all the time clicked to buy something. We would be happy, but we unfortunately ran out of money, and exchangers have been closed. So we say: “Sorry, next time, we have no money,” and we say: “Money is not a problem, the main thing you yourself come!”? Tell me, what country are you so answer??

Then we returned on foot in a hotel. And there are very nice hosts washed our fruit, cut watermelon and gave us tea. And we, as weary travelers in obmyagli couch cushions …

The next day we met our guide. Charming woman. By nationality – Finn, was born in Gatchina, married an Uzbek, and now 35 years old live in Bukhara. If you heard the love she talked about her hometown, about his country. Yes … for 35 years, this tale has its motherland!

Bukhara – the sensations of a completely different city in contrast to Samarkand. There is no one Samarkand grace and masshatbnosti. Almost all the buildings are mud and barely covered with majolica, which makes the city nice and simple beauty. But I do not think it is worth comparing these two cities. They are completely different!

At the time when we were there, it seemed to me that in Bukhara, there were fewer tourists. And this we are even more immersed in the regulated life Bukharans. Visited the mausoleum of Bahauddin Naqshbandi (there are many places where you can make a wish:)), the residence of the Emir of Bukhara: it certainly does not compare with the Winter or Kremvleskim palace, but there all so simple and beautiful that you do not want to go there, around there there is a garden and tourists are not forbidden, but even naobrot approved delicacy fruktamii (quince, peaches, apricots, etc.) directly from the trees. Also visited the mausoleum of Ismail, Ark (well, just a monumental building!). most of all in Bukhara, I liked to walk past the shopping stores, located in the ancient caravanserai. This is something unbelievable!

So flying for three days, but it seemed that we were there 3 weeks?. At least for me, this three-day vacation while he was the most surprising and do not forget! It’s been a few days, but I’m not leaving until now feeling “and the soaring euphoria” of this country! We will definitely come back here, because there is still much that we did not have time to see and hear!

Tips

Haggle always and everywhere! I, for instance, do not know how to bargain, but local residents, in my opinion, you are pushing yourself to it:). In any case, they’ll give you a discount or something in the bargain.

If you’re there for the first time, it is better to consult a guide, where it is better to buy cheap, eat, etc. Believe me they will not be deceived and happy to help you!

Nothing and nobody’s afraid. There is always peace and quiet! And, of course, the address to which you can find Rakhmatjon – http://www.roxanatour.com very, very, very recommend to visit this country of oriental fairy tales! ?
