| Considering the prices, clubs aren't going to have very many legitimate nationals in them. |
What kind of prices did you see for clubs: entrance, drinks, etc. in Tashkent? |
The only club I went to was like $5 cover charge and $8 for a bottle of vodka. Which doesn't sound like a lot, but those same bottle of vodka cost about $1 on the street below.

| Also, is there beach outside of Tashkent? I heard there was one nearby that was real popular in the Summer. Did you go there? |
A beach near Tashkent? I think the nearest beach is a couple thousand miles a way. Maybe people are hanging out on one of the river banks, but I wouldn't touch that water with a ten foot pole. |
I believe TB is asking about this:
"Also Tashkent has, from what I've been told. a GREAT beach scene during summertime on the shores of Tcharvak Lake, which is the largest artificial lake of Central Asia, just 30 kms out of town. Temperatures reach 40�C and more during August BTW !" |

| Yea, Almaty's pretty expensive but cheap accomodation is possible. I was there in deep winter, lots of snow but there is a ski slope near-by (1Km long slope). Drinks are pretty expensive $4, but I believe there's a lot of ex-pats for a good night out. Looks like it'd be nice to go through in summer - it's got a few parks/sights to see. Bishkek and around should have some amazing hiking - if you're there in the summer, hook up with the nomadic herders and stay in a yurt! |
