I've now finished teaching - hard to believe that 5 months have flown by just like that. I had originally signed a contract that would have kept me here until 21 August, but I changed it in order to give myself some time to travel through Central Asia. Next weekend, on 4 July of all days, I'll set off on a small adventure, starting my trip in Almaty and then going down into Uzbekistan for about 2 weeks. I aim to be back in Bishkek in late July, where I'll relax a bit here before heading homewards in early August.
Over the next few days I plan on writing some sort of wrap-up of my time here, along with amusing little anecdotes - amusing to me, anyway - capturing some of the more memorable moments I've had here.
For now, I offer up some more photos from my recent visit to Arslanbob. It was truly a wonderful place; I only hope the pictures can convey at least a sense of the place's natural beauty.
Chaikhana fun
The serenity of the countryside
More whippersnappers clamouring for a photo
The steep incline of marbles that almost claimed our lives...almost
Jo. And the mountains. And a river. Wow.
What a couple of clowns
What, that's it?
Smile for the camera kids
You can lead a horse to water...
