 Practice💫 #day_9 Location📍:Toqi Telpak Furushon  Date📆:15.05.2025 Each time we visit a new place during our practical training, it feels like opening another page in Bukhara’s story. One place that truly touched me was our visit to Toqi Telpak Furushon — a traditional domed market in the center of the city. I went there with my classmates, our teacher, and Mr. Colton, and together we explored a space that felt both old and full of life. As we got closer, I saw the tall dome and beautifully curved entrances. The name “Toqi Telpak Furushon” means “Dome of the Hat Sellers,” and that’s exactly what it was — a place where people have sold traditional hats and local goods for many generations. But it was more than just a place to shop. What amazed me most was the smart design of the building. The high dome let in natural light and kept the space cool. The narrow paths under the dome gave it a quiet, almost magical feeling. It showed how ancient builders didn’t just care about be...

Practice💫 #day_7✨️ Location📍:Magoki Attori Mosque Date📆:13.05.2025 Today was the seventh day of our practical training, and it became one of the most unforgettable ones. We visited the Magoki Attori Mosque — a place full of history, wonder, and peaceful beauty, right in the center of Bukhara. It wasn’t just a regular trip — it felt like stepping into the past. Some places make you feel like time slows down — where the walls speak of the past, and the silence feels special. Visiting the Magoki Attori Mosque was one of those rare moments.

As part of our learning, we visited the Labi Hovuz complex — one of the most beautiful and historical places in Bukhara. When we arrived, we were amazed by the calm and peaceful atmosphere. The trees, the still water of the pool, and the whole area felt very relaxing and inspiring. We started our tour at the Kukeldash Madrasah, which was once an important Islamic school. When I walked inside, I was surprised by the beautiful tiles and the feeling of history in the building. We talked about its past, its role in spiritual life, and shared what we had learned in class. Then we went to see the Khanqah and the Nadir Devonbegi Madrasah. Each building had its own story and showed the rich culture and art of Uzbekistan.

 Practice💫 #day_5✨️ Location📍:Blacksmith Museum  Date📆:10.05.2025 Hello everyone! Today, we’re not going to an art gallery or a mosque.

Practice💫 #day_4✨️ Location📍:Art Gallery🖼 Date📆:08.05.2025 A Fun Day Full of Art and Happy Memories🎀 Today was one of the best and most special days for me💫. I went to an art gallery with my coursemates, and it was a place full of color, ideas, and feelings💘. When we walked in, we felt the creative energy around us. The walls had many beautiful artworks – lovely paintings, interesting photos, and detailed sculptures🖼💫. Every piece of art seemed to tell a story without using words.

 Practice💫 #day_3✨️ Location📍:High Mosque🕌 Date📆:07.05.2025 Today, my coursemates and I visited the High Mosque in Bukhara with our teacher. This visit was more than just a school activity; it felt like a meaningful journey into history and faith.  Our teacher shared information about the mosque's history, but I found myself absorbed by the beauty around me. The walls were adorned with intricate tiles, and the domes shimmered in the sunlight.

  Practice 💫 #day_2✨️ Location📍:Ark fortress  Date📆:06.05.2025 Visit to the Ark Fortress and Dungeon Today was the second day of our course, and it gave us an unforgettable memory✨️. Together with our teacher and classmates, we visited the famous Ark Fortress—one of the most important historical places in Bukhara. As we walked toward the huge gates, I felt full of excitement. The building looked so powerful and beautiful. It was hard to imagine that people had built it so long ago. Our teacher told us about the Ark’s past—how it was once a royal palace and a center for important government work. Hearing these stories while standing inside the fortress made everything feel more real. But the most emotional moment came when we entered the dungeon. The mood changed completely. It was cold, dark, and silent. I could almost feel the fear and pain of the people who were kept there. The chains, the small rooms, and the narrow hallways made my heart heavy. It made me think about ho...
