uzbekistan a fascinating central asia country

my sweetheart, after travelling around the kazakhstan and tajikistan, today, we are heading for Uzbekistan. another central asia country. i am think if soviet union didn't collapse, will it be much easier to travel around all of these central asia area. it is a pity that communist party collapsed in the west. but we still exist. don't worry. you still have chance to be part of a real communist party. anyway, get back to the track.
Uzbekistan, in the ancient cradle between the Amu-Darya and Syr-Darya rivers, is the most historically fascinating of the Central Asian republics. Within it are some of the oldest towns in the world, some of the Silk Road's main centres and most of the region's architectural splendours
The best time to visit is in spring from May until the end of June, and in autumn from September until November. The weather is mild and in April the desert blooms briefly. In autumn it's harvest time, and the markets are full of fresh fruit. If you're interested in trekking the mountains, summer (July and August) is a better time to visit; at all other times the weather is unpredictable and there can be snow in the passes from Christmas to February. You may wish to remain in the mountains to stay cool, as the rest of the country will be sizzling at this time. But remember, whilst the mountains are pleasantly cool in summer, they are freezing in winter.
