Someone from forum.uz

Lets say you were at internet cafe or university computer lab and you saw someone posting at forum.uz.What would you do, will you confront?

For me it depends on a person.Similar thing happened with me while I was visiting friends in Nashville.I asked one of my friends to take me to an internet cafe,but instead he took me to the Vanderbilt university lab which I was adviced to use it for free.I went there and saw somene chatting on choyhona.For about 10-15 minuts I couldn't make up my mind about what I should do,say Hi and I am an uzbek or not.And I decided not to say anything,cause I thought about opposite approach.

I'd sit by him/her making sure s/he can notice my PC screen and would visit Uzbekistan-related web-pages. :P Like centrasia.ru, fergana.ru, forum.uz, etc. No? :(

I had similar situation. One day, when I was using a Copier, a guy asked me to help him out. I said: What Do u need to copy? he said, "My passport" and gave me his passport and with a shock on my face I read "Uzbekiston Respublikasi". I was thinking all the time while showing him how to use the xerox machine, what button to press, whether to tell him that I am uzbek as well, or is it better to say something like "Menam Ozbekman" and surprise him. I tried to read his name and last name on the passport, but I had to move fast, so I could not.:lol: :lol:

The other day, I came to the internet cafe, and a chinese guy was sitting next to me. I sat there already for almost an hour when his cellphone rang. He picked it up and went like "EE, aka, asalomalekum, kevoldik, hudoga shukur..." Being honest, I forgot what I was typing and sat there till he left listenning to his conversation, trying to overhear the answers from the other end.:lol: I enjoyed it so much:lol:
I opened uzbek website, but he did not seem to notice.:rolleyes: :lol:
At least he did not tell me anything:P

Bir marta tramwayga chiqsam bir guruh o'zbeklar ham endi chiqip biletni qaerida komposter qiladi dep gapirip turishganakan. Men sekiin orqadan kelip aka mashetga qilas deganimda, hammasi oldin surprised bo'lip, keyin rosa kulganmiz. Bahonada o'zbeklar bilan tanishib olganman...

[crescent]

Kembridjdaligimda avtobusda bir bolani ko'rgandim, o'zbekligini ko'rinishidan bilgandim ammo hech narsa demadim. Keyingi kunlar ham bir necha marta ko'rdim, u ham menga qarab qarab qo'yardi, menimcha u ham o'zbekligimni bilgandir.

Kakto stranno podoyti i ni s togo ni s sego skazat' "Privet, ya toje s Uzbekistana":rolleyes: Yest' risk poluchit' otvet "Nu i chto?!"
But if I had seen someone posting at forum.uz, I would probably look out his nick and send some PMs:D After shocking him a bit I would say Hello!;)

[Aziz]

here in SA I will notice the Uzbek guy before he opens any website...
in school there were Uzbeks and Uyghurs and it is well known here in Saudi Arabia any Uzbek or Uyghur you see must be related to you even if it was distantly related:D .

Guess what? I had almost the same situation. It happened recently. I was in the Frankfurt In. Airp. when two guys approached me and asked how to figure out which gate they need for a flight to Washington, DC. I showed them how to use touch pad and find the gate number. I knew they weren't Americans 'cuz they had that heavy accent. And suddenly, one of them asked another: "~, sorragin bu boladan kanaqa kilib bu geytga etib borshimiz mumkin"? I was totally surprised and I didn;t know how to act. I know, it was kinda stupid of me not to tell them I'm Uzbek and go my own way. It was later when I felt sorry for not talking to them in Uzbek (even though it sucks big time =). But I do understand Stanford's and Incognito's reaction in their cases, cuz sometimes situation might be confusing enough to respond quickly.

Uzbekskaya nacionalnaya muzika moya stihiya, spokoyno sidet i ne tancevat pod zajigayushiy ritm "surnay" i "doira" u menya ne poluchayetsya! A pod horezmskuyu lezginku ya celuyu vechnost gotov tancevat. koncert provodilsya v osnovnom dlya yaponcev, nas uzbekov tam bilo tolko troe. Vot mi i stali tancevat do upadu! Posle koncerta nam zahotelos po boltat s nashimi muzikantami, dusha tak skazat potyanula! Uvidev menya oni tak silno obradivalis! I k moyemu udivleniyu vse zakrichali "hello", "hello"!

Eti nashi muzikanti tak obradivalis, chto daje trudno opisat virajeniye ih lica, izumleniye i radost mojno bilo zametit na ih licah! :)!

С тобой случалось такое? Я не думаю что так скажут...

С тобой случалось такое? Я не думаю что так скажут...Бывает такое, ещё как бывает.
Еду я как-то на трэйне(первый месяц) раз кто-то на вопрос кондуктора ответил с ужаснейшим, я-бы даже сказала "Да, Я русский!" Акцентом. Я так взволновалась, начала осматривать того мужчину:Лет ему где-то 30-32, в очках, блондин, с портфелем и газетой в подмышке. Я две остановки сомневалась что ему сказать, и потом решилась и с неуверенностью выдала:
-Зравствуйте, я тоже по русски умею говорить...
Он на меня так укоризненно посмотрел, и сказал:
-Ну и что?:cool:
ЛОЛ. Я на следующей остановке сошла и всю дорогу до дома думалa о том какой-же этот человек грубиян. ха-ха:lol: :lol:

The other day, I came to the internet cafe, and a chinese guy was sitting next to me. I sat there already for almost an hour when his cellphone rang. He picked it up and went like "EE, aka, asalomalekum, kevoldik, hudoga shukur..." Being honest, I forgot what I was typing and sat there till he left listenning to his conversation, trying to overhear the answers from the other end.:lol: I enjoyed it so much:lol:
I opened uzbek website, but he did not seem to notice.:rolleyes: :lol:
At least he did not tell me anything:P

that chinese said different words, do not lie, please.

it was like: " e oshna ... ashnakasizda ... Anjan suvidan ichaylik ... ishanorin ...":lol:

[Sayyoh]

у меня была слегка иная история: приехали мы с друзьями с Н-ного южного штата в Н-ный восточный. Приехали на конференцию, но опаздывали на нее из-за задержки рейса (была зима) и + у нас потеряли багаж. И так мы порядочно опаздывали. В попыхах прибегаем к такси стэнд: "сэр, ви нид такси фор 4 персонс ту гет ту ... драйв" "Hop in, fellows. No problems." "ю тейк виза кард?" "Sure thıng."

После такой емкой беседы едем в этой машине и разговаривем между собой на русском, а с водителем на английском. Мол, "из ит олвейз зис колд хиер эт зис тайм оф йер?" "оу ноу, ит из нау вээээри ворм ин зе стейт зет ви кейм фром"...

Кто-то из нас реторически спросил "а если опоздаем?.." Друг молдованин молвил "то тогда ему 3,14*дец..."

Водитель почему-то слегка напрягся, смотрит на дорогу и на чистейшум русском языке спрашивает "Кому?.." Наступила тишина... Дальше мы молчали всю дорогу... А после, когда уже приехали на место, именно и только друг молдованин вспомнил, что в ЮСА принято давать чаевые, что он и сделал :)
