You can ask me anything about life here, or the history, geography, religion, etc.

You can also ask about Central Asia in general.

Hello users of r/geography,

Recently, this subreddit has become a lot more popular on Reddit. However, many of our long-time users have been leaving the subreddit due to a very specific and repeated complaint.

There are too many low-quality and unhelpful comments that, rather than aiming to help the OP, exist solely to make tired and repetitive jokes for karma.

From now on, practically all comments of this sort will be deleted, and repeat offenders will be banned for 14 to 30 days. I could give many examples of this, but some of the most common ones are "If my grandma had wheels, she'd be a bicycle" under any post asking about hypothetical changes and yo mama jokes.

In addition to this, we have received many complaints about posts that could theoretically be open to the entire world, but the way they are worded is extremely American-centric for no necessary reason, making people from other countries feel left out and like they can't contribute. From now on, these posts will be deleted. This also applies to posts for any country, we just see it about the United States most often.

To clarify, if somebody wants to ask about a specific geographic feature located in the United States, those posts are completely fine. But posts such as "Which city in the United States has the best beaches?" or "Which American state has the most scenic mountains?" will be removed, as will posts like "Which Canadian city has the worst drivers?" or "Which European country has the nicest people?". In general, the aim is for this subreddit to discuss geography, not just "facts about countries", which is better suited for the various Ask subreddits (AskAnAmerican, AskEurope, AskTheWorld, etc)

We would also like to crackdown on bot posts but that is very hard. Unortunately, most traffic on Reddit is bots nowadays. If anybody has any ideas, please comment below.

Feel free to express your opinion on this. Thank you!

EDIT: After feedback, I have edited part of this post.

Мы с другом думаем как доехать из Бишкека в Талас, но в обход Казахстана. Мы знаем что ежедневный GoBus едет как раз через казахскую границу.

Подскажите, возможно сейчас найти на Западном автовокзале (тот новый, знаю что в городе больше не находится) маршрутки или машины и тд, которые едут напрямую через перевал? Если кто-то так уже ездил, поделитесь опытом, пожалуйста. Заранее спасибо

Hello. A friend and I are going to Talas and we would prefer to do it without crossing the Kazakhstan border, as the daily GoBus does. Has anybody done this route using a marshrutka or shared taxi? If so please share your experience. Thank you!

Salam brothers and sisters of Malaysia. I am from Kyrgyzstan and will be visiting your country soon in July. Our country is very dry, even if it gets hot in the summer, unlike your climate, where you are basically sweating non-stop.

From what I can tell, the best sunscreens for a climate like Malaysia are Bioré Athlizm, as it is specifically made for walking a lot and hiking in humid heat. but it seems this is not often available in Watsons and Guardian? So Bioré UV Perfect Milk is the next best thing, and that one is more common.

However, I am having more difficulty finding a good reef-safe sunscreen, as we will be spending some days swimming in the Perhentian Islands. I have gotten Australian Gold recommended but again, you cannot find this in Malaysia regularly it seems.

Any recommendations that are not going to be over 100MYR?
