Right now I am in Kyrgyzstan, where I will be for the next 10 or so days, but I know that everybody is dying to know how the dentist went, so I will tell you.

In Almaty, I headed to the dentist recommended in the Lonely Planet. I was seen immediately, and the dentist looked in my mouth for a good 25, 30 seconds before telling me to go to hospital. I nervously asked why and the translator said, in her somewhat limited ...

Hotellisööklas ei anta endiselt kohvi ja moosi on liiga vähe, et mannaputru sellesse uputada.
Pärast kohvijoomist Fatboy's on ette vaja võtta poodlemine. Ilmneb, et on veel mõned raamatupoed ja ühest saan lõpuks Aitmatovi Päev pikk kui sada aastat. Antiigipoodi jääb ka meist maha hulgaliselt somme. Ja kõhuli poepõrandal roomates selgitame välja, et kirgiisid siiski toodavad šokolaadi. Varasema järgi jäi mulje, et kogu magus veetakse sisse kas Venemaalt ...
