I already mentioned that the Palace of Peoples’ Friendship is a very popular place for Uzbek couples to have their wedding parties.
But obviously parties are held in any other places or restaurants. While I was wandering around Amur Timur park looking for a nice place to have dinner, I suddenly heard trumpets and followed the sound. There was obviously a wedding or maybe birthday party going on, given the elegant dressed people that got inside.
The guys blowing the trumpets outside were all dressed in festive robes, of which you can see a lot also in the bazaars. They had a lot of fun, blowing their trumpets and were all aware that they’d been photographed. Still, sorry for my blurry pictures (I think I was hungry that evening).
