Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
6 Silk Road
secrets: Traveling in Central Asia's Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan
Among the
seven “stans,” Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan lie along the northern
route of the ancient Silk Road. Things popular in one place are often more
appreciated in other places, especially in ancient times when transporting such
valuable items took time and risks, and could cost even lives.
Though there
were times when foreign powers ruled the region like the Soviet Union, cities
in these central Asian countries have kept ancient monuments and architectures,
and old traditions and lifestyles along with modern buildings and transportations.
Things seem
to be moving not as fast as the other part of the world. It may be worthwhile
applying visas to enter and experience these historical and monumental “Stans” before
it’s too late.
Enjoy seeing
the photos of things and places in Central Asia.
