Just wrapping up my travels and wandering around Bishkek. Reading some local english language news papers, like the Times of Central Asia and sipping a beer at Dubovny park. By now i can translate the Cyrillic into Roman, but that still does not mean i understand it.
Some headlines in local news :
- Old machinery hampers Kyrgyz agricultural development
- Presidential election to go live on TV in Kyrgyzstan
- EU provides €300,000 for victims of floods and mudslides in Tajikistan
- Uzbek farmers against the fact that police escorts crops harvesting
- Uzbekistan increases gas supply to Tajikistan almost 3.5 times
- Turkmenistan, China sign gas agreement
- Turkmenistan unaffected by global economic crisis
And of course get some international food and a really good cup of coffee [not the poor-some-water-on-brown-powder-stuff]. Bishkek is a young capital. I wonder what will happen in about a month when elections are being kept at July 23rd. Four years ago it ended in the Tulip Revolution.
