I was born in Kyrgyzstan, and it's the only country in Central Asia to have a functioning democracy, as sad as that is.

The geography there is beautiful, it is the best place to visit for wild snow leapards in the world. The mountains are relatively untouched (over 90% of the country is mountainous too) and a lot of scenic mountain lakes are located there.

Unfortunately the rural areas are very backwards socially, if you travel alone you have a rather high chance of being mugged.

I watched a pretty disturbing video about "bride kidnapping" in Kyrgyzstan today, so definitely not there.

This is one of those things that happens in rural areas. It's less common nowadays from what I've heard (I don't live there anymore) but it still occurs.

Kazakhstan just to see if it's at all like in "Borat".

It is nothing like Borat, at all ;)
