Another round of the visa-game, this time for the Kazakh and Chinese visas. Outcome in short: I got the Chinese visa in one day (you simply pay more) and left after 9 days of waiting without the Kazakh one…
Tashkent as a travel destination is best avoided. There is not much to see, it’s hot and the policemen are a nuisance; everytime you walk through an underpass or into the metro you need to show your bag and they spend a couple of minutes trying to understand my passport. But it was nice to stay a bit longer in one place for once and work on what I want to do after I reach Tokyo.
