ULAANBAATAR – MONGOLIA
30/11/23 – 3/12/23 After polishing off the food I had left in the apartment, I packed up and ordered a Yandex to the airport. I was going to be a bit early, but I wasn’t hugely fussed, as I knew I could just sit somewhere quiet, read my book, and wait! Almaty Airport, unlike Tashkent,…

DUSHANBE – TAJIKISTAN
18/11/23 – 20/11/23 This morning, I got up at around 5:30, packed my bits and pieces away, and took a Yandex to the airport for my 8am flight to Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. I’d been reading quite a bit about the Tajiki Civil War, which had broken out upon the dissolution of the Soviet…
