 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_5✨️ Location📍:Blacksmith Museum  Date📆:10.05.2025 Hello everyone! Today, we’re not going to an art gallery or a mosque.

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 made me think about ho...
