It was kind of strange crossing the border - from Kazakh countryside on one side to Tashkent suburbs on the other. After 8k I got hit by a car trying to go on the outside of me in a roundabout. There was of course no room, so he hit me and the bike went down while I jumped off. From the other side of the roundabout, he looked to see I was up and drove off - welcome to Uzbekistan! Later at the hostel, I found out the bike was okay.
