Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Uzbekistan responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Uzbekistan often appreciate the country's rich culture and history, as well as its friendly people. They also enjoy the low cost of living, which makes it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the lack of modern infrastructure and the slow pace of life in Uzbekistan to be a challenge.
