Uzbekistan, albeit being a very nice place to visit, didn’t have very good access to the internet. Actually, in most places it was pretty painful. Yet there is one thing I don’t think I ever told you: Jizzakh, somewhere between Tashkent and Samarkand, had excellent internet. And I mean excellent.
Bukhara, well, not so much.

Then I asked around in neighboring cafés for access to some high-speed wifi. They told me to forget about the old town and go to the new town.
So I took a cab there, and the first place I tried, the place that most people had recommended, turned out to have no wifi at all:

I ended up in a hotel that had slightly faster wifi than the one where I was staying.
But in the end I figured that it had all been one giant waste of time.
