'''Uzbekistan''' is a country in Central [[Asia]]. There are borders to [[Kazakhstan]], [[Kyrgyzstan]], [[Tajikistan]], [[Afghanistan]] and [[Turkmenistan]].
It's probably a good idea to learn Russian, or at least the Cyrillic alphabet. Especially older people speak Russian. Also knowing some Turkish helps.
== [[Hitchhiking]] ==
Due to most people do not own a vehicle, hitchhiking seems to be a common way to get around. But for the Uzbeks hitchhiking is like taking a taxi, so payment is expected. Anyway there might be a chance to get a free lift if you make it clear before you enter. Tell the driver that you are traveling without money and you are doing autostop (автостоп (pronounced like awtostopavtostop)) all the way.
