My Native City I'm very proud to be Tashkent born. I'm completely sure that the capital of Uzbekistan is a precious perl among the other cities of Central Asia. Ancient and modern at the same time, havig a fast pace of living but far from a rat race, tolerant and bright my native city has a lot of sightseengs for all tastes. If you like historical places you can visit madresah Kukeldosh or monument to the Shamakhmudovs family that adopted 15 orphans during the Second World War. If you like theatres we have the Theatre of Opera and Ballet named after Alisher Navoi,the Operetta Theatre, two Drama theatres for Russian and Uzbek language spectators, two theatres for children also for Russian language and Uzbek language guests, the Puppet theatre with a rather good museum of puppets, the Circus and a lot of other places to spend your weekend. As I'm a teacher we often take our pupils to the different museams : the Museaum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Geology with a nice dino's sceleton and enormnous stone footprints, The Museum of Trains, where children can touch and climb every train, the Museum of Nature with good models and installataions, the Museum of Medicine etc.We live in a wonderful mix of old Oriental traditions and European innovations. We are fancy eaters and you can find every cuisisne you want. Our English language teacher at the courses I'm studying now was surprised to know that we can buy not only beef and mutton but pork also because our Russian and Korean citizens cook it. We are very religious tolerate as we have not only mosques but two Ortodox Temples and one Nunnery, a Catholic Temple, a Sinagogue and even a temple for Krishna followers. Our transport system is rather well developed. I live nearby the subway system which consists of three lines. Every station is hand-made and unique. I live near a new Stadium named Bunedkor. There is a large place around and sometimes in the evening I walk there looking at teenagers riding the bikes or rollerskating, groups of adolecents sitting on the grass drinking water, Cola or juice and chattering or just listening to music. At these moments I think that my Tashkent can be easily compared with every European city.
