Cat Lady in Kyrgyzstan: March 2013

http://catladyinkyrgyzstan.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 30, 2013. Café Nooruz (Кафе Нооруз). May 25, 2008. Café Nooruz was, until quite recently, my favorite restaurant in Bishkek. Despite its not entirely stunning ambiance, the lagman (a Kyrgyz noodle soup) and shashlik (meat on a stick) was fabulous. Additionally, the fact that it’s located directly across the street from the school means that we go there all the time. And did I mention that it’s super cheap? When our waitress returned, I asked her what kind of meat it was:. We’ve been...

Cat Lady in Kyrgyzstan: October 2013

http://catladyinkyrgyzstan.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 31, 2013. In which I meet the other American in the area. July 9, 2013. Again we were crammed into a van filled with all sorts of building supplies, electrical gear, and cooking supplies. I should also mention that this can is in a permanent hot-wire status; the wiring has been pulled out of the original ignition and routed into a pseudo-ignition contraption. To start the van, one must insert a flat-head screwdriver into this contraption and twist it like a key. Brilliant! That night, a...

Last weekend my boss, Kendje, and her husband, Bayan took me, as well as K and A and H their host daughter to Lake Issyk Kul. It was an incredible trip. This is where we stopped for lunch. You can see our tire tracks to the right, where we drove down from the main road. This is the monument to the massacres of 1916 as seen from the highway. A passerby washes and prays in the sacred spring. K dances on the ice at Balykchy. Next t...

http://catladyinkyrgyzstan.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Thursday, May 2, 2013. I leave for Kyrgyzstan in less than a week - meaning that I am totally packed and ready to go right now. I am an obsessive packer and re-packer (at least when I'm getting ready to go somewhere exciting), and I've been working on my packing list for some time now. I may have had some items in the suitcase for over a month or so at this point. :-). Now, if I'm moving. This shot is for scale, so you can see the size of my two bags relative to my full-sized bed. Supposedly it works as ...
