This Saturday, send yourself a letter to 2036
Or dance at Sublimation, watch The Daughters-in-Law’s Revolt again and finally collect that order — our wardrobe still has not arrived!
Here is Friday’s news and a few weekend plans
There is +1 Tazik at the end. Share the digest with someone you would like to take out into the city 🧡
An almost summery Saturday
For 10 October, Tashkent’s forecast is dry, with +25…+27°C by day and +13…+15°C at night. Easterly winds: 3–8 m/s
Sunday should stay dry in the city too. The mountains are another matter: Uzhydromet warns of possible mudflows in foothill and mountain areas on 11 October
A fifth carriage for metro trains
Tashkent plans to buy 14 five-car trains, or 70 carriages in total, expected by the end of 2027, according to Gazeta. Trains currently have four cars
The lost-money story has a heroine
Yesterday, we wrote about $10,000 lost on the metro and returned to its owner. The metro has now released a video: a woman passenger noticed the cash first, picked it up and handed it to staff
The original Interior Ministry report credited staff with finding it. To clarify: the woman found the money; staff helped return it
So our first thanks go to her
Collect an Uzum order without the app
After the 8 October outage, Uzum announced that warehouses and collection points had resumed work. Customers whose app still would not open were allowed to collect using the number in their SMS or the recipient’s name
Collection deadlines were extended. Before travelling, check for a ready-to-collect message: the reopening of collection points does not mean every order has arrived
The company promised a separate update on the app, website and personal accounts
The city will count dry and damaged trees
Tashkent has ordered an inventory of diseased, dry and hazardous trees and shrubs. District heads must confirm the lists’ accuracy before environmental specialists check them, Gazeta reports
Being listed does not replace a felling permit. If someone cites a “new decision” in your courtyard, it is still worth asking which documents have been issued for the particular tree
A letter to yourself, arriving in ten years
At UzPost Fest, you can write a letter and leave it in a time capsule. Organisers promise to deliver it in ten years. A good moment to ask your future self: how are we doing?
The Main Post Office also has postcards, calligraphy, postcrossing, a market and postal cinema. Send an ordinary letter straight from the festival. Activities require booking
Time: 10–11 October, 12:00–21:00
Price: free admission; check individual activity terms when booking
Location
