The -stans

Digging through old email on this day off from work, including a month's worth of unread BBC News. They did a special report at the end of last month about Central Asia.

Interesting stuff. To me, anyway.

Since I'm doing this today...there will no doubt be plenty of crap to read later posted here today. Including this one: another Central Asia story. This one involving the Uighurs in Xinjiang.

Not sure why the rest of the world fascinates me like this. Perhaps it's because I have strong doubts that I'll ever manage to see it...
