Oct 20- Tashkent bazaar continued

More bazaar pictures. Those round, white balls infront of the two ladies sat by the table are dried yogurt balls. They are usually savory with different spices and generally consumed alongside a beer.

We spent the afternoon back at the hostel getting our Chinese visa application ready. According to other travelers and a central asian travel website the Chinese government has been making it very difficult for foreigners to obtain visas in central asia. We assume the ongoing conflict between the Chinese and the Uygur people in western China is responsible for the visa complications.

Laura and Giorgio had submitted their applications a few days ago so Jeppe, James and I were following their instructions on what documents we needed to prepare. The plan was for all of us to go to the Chinese embassy tomorrow to submit our applications (Jeppe, James and I) and ask for an earlier visa pick up time so as to not overstay their Uzbek visa (Laura and Giorgio).
