During the summer of 2022, we spent almost 6 weeks in Central Asia.
We barely made a dent in the region given the very long distances between places, but we gathered enough to be able to tell a version of the story of Central Asia.
To give you an idea: a train ride between Almata (the largest city in Kazakhstan) and Toshkent (the capital of O'zbekiston) takes about 18 hours. A bus ride between Toshkent and Bishkek takes about 14 hours. Also 14 hours are needed to go from south of Kazakhstan to Karaganda in order to learn about the Soviet crimes over there. And we had to move fast, because Karagandskaya Oblast has decent temperatures about 6 weeks a year. In late August it was already cold.
But, at least inside Uzbekistan there's faster rail. Sometimes. If you manage to get a ticket, you can travel 800km in under 6 hours. If not... yet another night goes just for that.
So... with these limitations, in mind, let me introduce you, slowly, to how things roll around here.
Let's explore!
