I was up this morning, got a lift to Kemin, then took the bus to Bishkek where I met my colleague for coffee. We went shopping for supplies and then met a friend of his and it turned out that this friend is the person whose blog I partly read before coming out here. Now I am home (back at the Ashu) I have revisited his blog and now know a lot more about the person I had coffee with. http://ianbek.kg/?page_id=6378 He has copious knowledge about Kyrgystan and pictures of Chon Kemin so definitely worth a look.
I do not know why, because although I like Bishkek, it is a perfectly okay place, I notice that the twice I have been there I suddenly have a wave of homesickness, much more so than when I am in the country. Anyway, tomorrow is the last day of the Eid holiday, I do not know if there will be any evidence of the festivities but I am pleased to have another day just to catch up with myself and maybe try and work out some ideas for improving my teaching.
