Central Asia is a place that I would like to visit. I’m not sure what attractions they have, but I guess it’s the unknown factor that’s calling for my interest.
The lack of travel option means that I would have to take extra effort just to get there, and the trouble is enough to deter me from travelling to Central Asia in near future. I still have a few other places with higher priorities on my travel list.
