Peace Corps Kyrgyzstan: no strings attached
http://seanincentralasia.blogspot.com/2014/12/you-can-have-this-money-just-one.html
Monday, December 1, 2014. You Can Have This Money, Just One (Thousand) Condition(s). You must give it all away. Standing with two trainers and a participant from the Youth Committee Training. The lower the percentage, the higher the likelihood I would donate. There is this mentality when giving money- we want the money to go toward the project, not into the pockets of those running the project. We don’t want our money going into the pockets of Bubumairam and Guljash…right? Wrong Of course I do! Great ref...

Peace Corps Kyrgyzstan: August 2013
http://seanincentralasia.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 15, 2013. Tire Swing and Other Pictures. I decided I should upload some more pictures since I have awesome internet now. Here is my outhouse. I think it's rather cute. My host mom was worried when she saw me taking this picture. She asked me if I thought it was a bad outhouse, I responded that I like it, which is the truth. This is the view from the toilet of my house and the backyard. You can see my host niece swinging on the tire swing under the tree on the left. Morning in the Village.

Peace Corps Kyrgyzstan: May 2013
http://seanincentralasia.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 17, 2013. I've been really busy learning Kyrgyz and integrating with my community so I haven't had time to write a good blog entry. So I'm going to be lame and post a clip from an email I sent my dad a few days ago:. I'm finding their culture to be the most interesting asset the country has after it's literally breath taking views of the mountains. I'll include more next post. Since I put the computer together my host mother has been around more in the evenings working on it, so maybe she had...

Peace Corps Kyrgyzstan: October 2013

Friday, October 18, 2013. Do I Like Kyrgyzstan? 8220; Кыргызстан жакты бы? 8221; Do you like Kyrgyzstan? Whether I’m talking to the person standing next to me in the overcrowded Marshrutka. A minivan jury-rigged for mass transit), the 16 year-old cutting my hair (the hair cutting school only charges 50 cents for a haircut), my host mom’s second cousin visiting from Naryn (some part of the family is visiting at least two nights a week), the national television station. I always hear this question.

Peace Corps Kyrgyzstan: June 2013
http://seanincentralasia.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 22, 2013. Passed the training, now Im a PCV. Oh, and my host family got a puppy! Enough about me, now to what you're really reading this for: Kyrgyz Culture! I love it, and you should too! The other day I was guesting at a neighbor's house and was asked by my host "Which is easier, Kyrgyzstan or America? A taste of bread. (Photo hopefully below). If you stay a couple minutes longer you no longer have a choice, you'll be getting tea, or as we call it among the PCVs, you'll get chai itch.
