Dec 28th, 2017 : Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan is furthest country from the ocean, and least populous nation with 29.5 residents per square Kilometer.
It’s the size of Nebraska, with 90% of it’s land above 4000 ft, has two National Parks and three Unesco World Heritage sites.
Sure is purty.
Famous for hunting with golden eagles, they also train Northern Goshawks, Peregrine Falcons, and Saker Falcons.
When they were part of the Soviet Union they were a big producer of uranium and manufacturing, so richer than they are now.
Gold accounts for 43% of Kyrgyzstan’s exports followed by “dried legumes” at 3.5%.
Friendly to everyone.

If you’re North Korean, you can stay for as long as you like without a visa. The same goes for citizens of Cuba, Vietnam, Russia, Armenia and 8 other formerly communist countries. Kyrgyzstan is a visa-free regime to 61 nations, including the United States and the European Union, whose citizens can stay for up to 60 days. |
Bed and board for $10 a day.

It’s in their culture and history to welcome guests, positioned right on the Silk Road. They have a special name for passing travellers who ask for shelter– kydaly konok, or ‘god’s guests’. Home stays with Kyrgyz families is part of the experience of visiting Kyrgyzstan, or accommodation in yurt camps that offer a glimpse into the nomadic life of yesteryear. |

For North Koreans it's not the destination, it's the journey.
