This city has one coffee shop with free wifi. It's at least a mile from my hotel, but somehow I keep ending up here, heh. I do like the internet. And coffee, of course.
Everything I've read about the Uzbek embassy tells me that I'm not going to enjoy today. If it's unusually quiet and I'm enough of a bully, I might get away with only queuing (outside in the rain, obviously) from 1pm to 4pm. A couple of hours later is more likely though, and then they'll try to find some reason to say come back in a week. They like to discourage people from casually coming to spend money in their country. These ancient cities had better be worth it.[1]
So, a fun and exciting day ahead. I'm fortifying myself with cake for second-breakfast.
[1] People I've met who've been there say they mostly aren't, but you can't really come to Almaty and not make a best effort to see Samarkand.
