UZBEKISTAN: LAND OF SILK ROAD TREASURES

A destination whose very name conjures up the dark and bloody history of the Silk Road, Uzbekistan has lain at the crossroads of cultures and customs for over two millennia. A product of war and commerce since ancient times, its cities and monuments offer up glorious testament to a historical pedigree that can boast some of the finest mosques and mausoleums anywhere in the region.

This stunning adventure begins in Tashkent, where we’ll have time to explore some of the highlights of the Uzbek capital before we take a flight on to Nukus, where we will visit the Savitsky Museum displaying the area’s Karakalpakstan culture and early 20th century avantgarde Russian artwork. Moving on to Khiva from here, we then take time to discover the madrasahs and monuments of its historic heart, before following the ancient Silk Road on to Bukhara, considered to be the most complete medieval city in Central Asia. After taking in Bukhara’s UNESCO treasures we then turn our attentions towards the Nuratau Mountains, where we spend some time enjoying the hospitality of village life around the Nuratau Reserve.

The final leg of our adventure then takes us on to magnificent Samarkand, a fitting end to a journey steeped in the legends and legacy of the Silk Road.

The national flag Cambodia

ছবি
Given the distinction as the only national flag in the world to feature a building or infrastructure in its aesthetic appeal, the current national emblem is a return to the once  Cambodian  flag during the monarchy rule of the Kingdom of  Cambodia  in 1948. Divided into three parts in the ratio 1:2:1, the flag has top and bottom blue bars that seemingly contain the red center showcasing the silhouette of the Angkor Wat. Very religious and philosophical, the national insignia is a testament to Cambodia’s progressive culture, diverse spiritual beliefs and strength as a country and as a people. The national flag has undergone several changes because of power shifts in the country brought by different colonizers and eras. However, despite the modifications the Angkor Wat symbol or image remained at the heart of the national emblem. The old standing temple is home to the nation’s dominant religions – first, to Hinduism and then the change towards Buddhism afforded the latter of the op

TOP 10 REASONS TO VISIT THAILAND

The Food Whether visitors are staying in the Land of Smiles for one day or one month, Thai food is so delicious and diverse that visitors should never have to eat the same dish twice. Visitors will even find that the  cuisine  changes as their location does, keeping their food options interesting as they venture from one city to the next. The People Though all of the countries people visit are going to have their fair share of friendly locals, there is something about Thai people that makes venturing to this particular country certainly less intimidating. Thai people are traditionally friendly, or at least perceived to be so. Maybe it is their traditional Thai greeting, the  Wai , which is when someone slightly bows with their hands together almost as if they are in prayer. Maybe it is the way many Thais eat family-style, with some visitors lucky enough to be invited to join in on a delicious meal. With a national motto like  mai pen rai , meaning don’t worry or it’s okay,
