Shalom-shalom. We are in Uzbekistan, in Tashkent for 2 weeks already, so far we like everything except the summer heat. Although some people say "it is better to sweat in summer than to get warm in winter". Even the daily +35 with no wind can also be got used to.
The new job implied a week of training in CFD basics in order to understand what my colleagues are talking about. In brief - a gambling game for the calculating, where the role of cards and dice and roulette are the rates of currencies and resources relative to each other, or just trading. After training there was a day for the internal exam and only after that the real work. At work you have to get up at 3 am, but it's ok if you go to bed at 7-8 pm. Well ok... More pictures!

This one just got loaded
This one's almost done.
There's an oven smoldering and meat being cut. The process is almost outdoors.

On the whole, of course, there is the Soviet Union here. But it is not oppressive and hopeless, but rather nostalgic and romantic. There are children running through the streets and playing with each other, a neighbor knows his neighbors by name and patronymic and many other such little things - on the one hand we live in a house from the Stalin era, on the other hand in the center of the city a block of skyscrapers Tashkent City is being built. It's a nice city.
