Bishkek

Initially I spent 4 nights in an apartment in central Bishkek. Lovely apartment and very cheap at only 45 dollars a night. I stayed a couple of extra nights to work and because I came down with a cold. But then I moved on to the Apple hostel in the north west of Bishkek. Generally a good hostel with lots of trips to local sights organised. They also have events in the evening such as a "intro to kyrgyz" lesson and a "plov" night, plov being a local meal. Very lovely young kitten in residence. Video included.Read more
