25 August 8月25日 晴れ タシケント

Last night, I finnaly got the OVIR regislation, which proves that I am a proper registered person in this country.
I am free!

Today's breakfast was spaghetti w/meat sause (minced mutton, onion, tomato and poptato) and a boiled egg. Multi vitamin tablets.
Spaghetti breakfast kicks ass.

The day begins.
というわけで今朝もスパゲティーミートソース。今朝のはイモ入り、タマゴ付。





I went to Uzbekistan Universal Magazin, or Uzbek Central Department store. They said that it is the biggest department store in Tashkent.
I was looking for an Uzbek musical instruments. Then I found "dtar" or "dotar". This 2 stringed instrument is often used by Uzbek woman musicians. They play this instrument and sing. I have not heard someone singing. I'd like to listen to it sometime.
But last night, I had been looking for some places where people play Uzbec national music in the band. But all I found was a Uzbek Karaoke and some singers sing one after another. There is no such place??? I gotta find one.




My fellow taxi guy, Bahkrom took me to the department store.

タクシーの運転手、バフロム君につれられてタシケントデパートでウズベキスタンの民族楽器、ドタールを探しに行った。
ありました、いいのが。でも買わなかった。ちょっと今の僕には高い。だって1万円もするんだもの。
ちなみにドタール、ウズベク女性がよく弾きながら歌うんだそうだ。聴いてみたいな。





This is the karaoke singers restaurant. I checked inside and said to the taxi driver, that I am not interested in listening to someone singing karaoke while I am eating.

Then after here, I ended up in a restaurant where a cool violinist playing his nice Romanian made stradivarius with..........KARAOKE!
