The Tashkent TV Tower. Its in all the postcards and rises above the city like a piece of Soviet futurism. That now just looks dated and strange. Completed in 1985, it remains one of the tallest towers in Central Asia, originally built for broadcasting and earthquake monitoring.
I wanted to go up the tower, and we did. At the top is a lookout and a restaurant that revolves / rotates. We sat at the restaurant - ordered french fries as my 6-year old son was so excited to be in a moving restaurant. They also had normal toilets - which was a rarity in Tashkent. So I was thrilled to be able to go the the bathroom - as most days I was unable to do so outside the hotel!
