i started hitchhiking again and was picked up by a man and his kids, and they invited me to stay with them for the night. i gladly accepted and they drove me to their house, where dinner was already waiting. we could only communicate via google translator, but they were still super wholesome, even took me to an ice cream shop.
i had a whole room to myself for the night, and in the morning, after breakfast, i was taken to the bus station to get to bishkek. again, the bus was gone already, so i took 3 different shorter buses and then started hitchhiking again.
an expensive suv drove by, but then turned around and offered to take me to bishkek for around 10€. i accepted out of desperation, but in hindsight, i should've just waited a little longer. as soon as i got into the car, the guy next to me started questioning me about my stance on putin, ukraine and whatnot and then told me that he was working in "counterintelligence" and showed me pictures of him in cobat missions in russia, vietnam, ukraine, saudi arabia and so on. he seemed weird though.
we stopped for some food and they told me "you're our guest", which normally translates to "we're inviting you to eat with us free of charge", but in this case, they made me pay for half of their stuff as well. again, i shouldn't have just taken that. after hours of driving, we finally got to bishkek.Læs mere
