My Dream Destination: Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is a country located in Central Asia. Uzbekistan lies primarily between two major rivers called the Syr Darya (also known as the ancient Jaxartes River) to the northeast, and the Amu Darya (also known as the ancient Oxus River) to the southwest. Uzbekistan is bordered by other Central Asian countries like Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to the east and southeast, Kazakhstan to the northwest and north, Afghanistan to the south, and Turkmenistan to the southwest. The independent republic of Karakalpakstan (also spelled Qoraqalpoghiston) is situated in the western third of Uzbekistan. The Soviet government founded the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic as a union republic of the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) in 1924. Uzbekistan declared its autonomy from the USSR on August 31, 1991 and the capital is Tashkent (also spelled Toshkent).

mummies of Aseki
There’s an atmosphere of violence in the air in Lae, Papua New Guinea (PNG). The heat feels oppressive and it’s humid. I’m here in the chaotic capital of Morobe Province in the PNG Highlands and it has one of the highest rates of violent crime of anywhere in the world, backed by an unemployment rate as high as 80 percent. Corrugated iron and tree branches are the preferred construction materials. The roads are bumpy and unsealed, riddled with potholes where bandits cut roads and rob vehicles at machete- point most days.
