The hotel restaurants are always empty when I eat in them. I think I eat a little early for the hotel crowd. The cafe is more of a lunch place and that pic was taken around 5pm. I was probably the last customer.
Most of central Tashkent is pretty new since an earthquake which flattened the old town in 1966. The suburbs would look very different even now. Several generations of one family will live in one single-storey home which consists of several rooms opening off a courtyard. This is all surrounded by an eight foot wall and gated so nothing is visible from the street.
