The pictures show one of the parks in Bishkek. There are many of them. This one is extremely narrow but long (I believe about 5 or 6 blocks). It starts close to our neighborhood and goes all the way down to Chui Street (the central street). It takes about 20 Minutes to walk through. On the side of the walking paths there are those "rainbow" benches. You'll find them all around Bishkek. I love how colorful they are - always set me into a good mood. And of course, always lots of people sitting on them. When you walk down the park, you feel like walking on a catwalk.
On the side of the streets you'll often find these little booths. They are the alternative to supermarkets. Locals sell anything in these booths and most stay open even at night - very convenient. This one is in the same park and sells newspapers and magazines.

Thank you for your news. I am so excited to click on the button and look whether Locquy posted some new everyday stories. Seems you already got some new friends from the States - David and Jenny. I visited their website already. Nice people. Good thing you found somebody to teach you Russian.
