С Рождеством!!!

[pilottttt]

Поздравляем с этим замечательным праздником всех, кто празднует его сегодня!

А ещё сегодня – два года с того момента, как мы прилетели в Ташкент с целью остаться здесь на некое время: сначала на три месяца, потом – ещё на три, потом – ещё на полгода, и так далее. Да, позапрошлое Рождество мы встретили где-то между паспортным контролем и таможней в ташкентском аэропорту – именно там мы находились рано утром седьмого января 2023 года, ожидая, пока в городе не откроются первые кафешки, чтобы пойти туда и позавтракать. Потом была гостиница, потом – первая съёмная квартира, после неё – вторая… В ней мы и живём до сих пор.

Два года, полёт нормальный.

A Happy Christmas to you, I hope it's a lovely day.

Two years! It's gone so quickly. Your lives must have changed in many ways :)

Thanks! Perhaps yes, we discovered a new country and a new region for ourselves (and for our friends too), and began to look at the world a little differently.

You were the lucky ones, or rather, you made your own luck and made it happen.,

Sometimes we need to be able to notice the path that life opens up for us.

Oleg, is Tashkent a good city? I used to live in Toronto Canada and it was like a mini NYC. But up here in Newmarket, I feel safer. :) How was your new years??

It's very positive here. Uzbeks are very positive and incredibly responsive people. Compared to Moscow, there is incomparably less aggression here, and time passes at a more comfortable pace.

We celebrated New Year's Eve in the local mountains, in a hotel in the middle of a snowy landscape (there is no snow at all below 1000 meters above sea level, so the mountains are the best place to see snow on New Year's Eve).
