Íor trains and planes, are made both in Uzbek ãnd Russian(and Tajik in Samarqand and Bukhara). Bicycles andmotorbikes are not difficult to find but are not used much in

YesSrr(Doo.YES - The word Íor yes, ha. is used more like 'uh-huh':perhaps a more accurate way oÍ saying yes is to simplyrepeat the main vert in the question, e.g. ÍÍShu yerdate{eÍon bonni?" "|s there a telephone here?" nBoÍ." "Therêis." - or, more simply, "Borni?" "ls there anln" rBor'
"There is."tlO - Saying yo'q directty can be a little rude. As abovê with'yês', one usually repeats the key element of the question,e.g. tYo'q, boÌmalnnan." "No, I'm not going."

25.THE CÀnDRIVIÍ|G - Unless you already know the country well. it isinadvisable to bring youÍ own vehicle to Uzbekistan. lf you
do, you will need an international driver's license, carregistration papers and insurance. Driving conditions vary.Normally roads are well signposted. But side roads might bewithout warning ot roadworks and sometimes manholes arenot closed properly. Street lighting is sporadic. and trafficlights. iÍ they exist, rarely work - but when they do Uzbeksseem to take great pleasure in ignoring them especiallywhen no police or other vehicle are in sight, as in late atnight. So you better look out Íor those who like crossing onred lights and make sure the crossroad is clear. Certainareas have parking reslrictions, although it is not alwaysobvious where they are or what the restrictions are. Ratherthan book you, the police will simply remove thê licenseplates oÍ an illegally parked car. The unÍortunate driver tl'€nhas to discoveí which police unit or station is holding them,and negotiate a suitable Íêe Íor their return. But in generalyou may park your car where you wish, provided that you donot block trafÍic.
