Sometimes I think: is it OK to write about myself? Because I may make mistake during the evaluation of my qualities. But anyway I try to write more precisely about myself ;) I am from Tashkent region, Uzbekistan, the country which is situated in the Central Asia. Even I am a citizen of Uzbekistan, my nationality is Kazakh. So I speak in Kazakh (not so good, but I can find my way in pure Kazakh community :-) ). I am fluent in Russian and Uzbek languages. Right now learning English.
Sometimes people say that I am very convincing person. May be they are right, because sometime ago I worked on Managerial positions in Insurance Business. Now I am mostly become a scientist then a businessman. I don't know why, but I like to spend my time for thinking and analysing social and economic problems. Recently I have started to study Behavioural Economics.
I love travelling, meet new personalities, acquire new friends, taste delicious foods. But visiting India I figure out that my stomach is not able to have spicy foods. Therefore, sorry for that my Indian friends :) I must say that I like backpacking trips. In 2011 and 2012 I traveled with my friends to Latvia, Poland, Germany, Italy, even to Kazakhstan :)
In addition I have to say that I am very interested in cooking. When I have a spare time and a kitchen, then you can find me only in that kitchen experiencing to cook some new delicious food. During the trips I always do my best to try local beer and vine. Therefore I like picnic-type trips and cook delicious foods with my friends.
