Wherever there is a need for cheap labor, foreigners will illegally migrate to work. BBC Uzbek (!) explores migrants in the remote and cold city of Yakutsk (the beginning of the Road of Bones to Magadan in Long Way Round). And check out the grey market RHD taxi from Japan.
More BBC Uzbek videos here.

Interesting stuff once again, thanks!
On a completely unrelated note, what's your take on the Wikileaks/Assange/Huckabee affair?
My pleasure. If you scroll through the link for BBC Uzbek on Youtube, you'll find five 5-minute segments with English subtitles. It's a longer version of the Yakutsk video I posted. That city is definitely on my list of places to visit.
My feelings are mixed on the Wikileaks affair. I think it's always good to have transparency, but I also understand why some information should be kept secret/confidential. I think on a psychological level, Assange and Huckabee have deep-seated problems. But hey, we're all a little strange. Finally, I really don't know if the charges against Assange in Sweden are real or not. Assange is about to release contents of a Bank of America executive's hard drive, so look out for more juicy information.
