Re: Caspian sea ferry updates & questions

We crossed on Oct. 1 from Azerbaijan to Kazakhstan. Let me just say that there is nothing special or amazing about this trip as a passenger on foot.

Re: Uzbekistan e-visa Q&A

Same for me. Got the application activated but the Payment Button page does not load and the error code is with similar message (I have tried using different browsers).
