Sights of Tashkent...

Salaam,
Our third day in Tashkent was mainly spent sightseeing around the city with our country's delegates to the ADB conference, who had just arrived earlier in the morning. In the evening, we had a good stroll around the city's most sacred and respectful place - the Mustakillik or Independence Square, the country's pride and essential part of the architectural ensemble of the capital.
Wassalam.
