This border town is no vacation spot. With just 33,000 residents, Saryagash is a remote, isolated place - over 15 miles from the nearest major city of Tashkent in neighboring Uzbekistan. The bureaucratic headaches of living so close to an international boundary are a persistent nuisance. And the harsh continental climate, with its scorching summers and frigid winters, is a challenge. Saryagash is for the hardy few who can tolerate the isolation and red tape required to reside in this sparsely populated corner of Kazakhstan.
