    Good video but just a little feedback. I am an American expat that has been living now for three years. Your video seems like a previous video that has the same videos and images that is outdated. For example, the buses and vans date back to the former Soviet Union. Today Bishkek has a fleet of new electric trolleys and some old trolleys. These trolleys represent Bishkeks major improvement in public transportation and they are spacious and comfortable. Recently Bishkek has also added a new fleet of buses that run on clean natural gas. Both buses and trolleys cost 11 soms//13 cents US. In reference to literacy please understand that this really needs to be updated. There are major American and British schools that focus on English and many adults and kids have full access to these schools. Bishkek is also home to the new American University of Central Asia with staff from the US, Britain and many other countries. Literacy rates have soared over the years and many Kyrgyz and Russians speak English. As someone who is grateful to be living here, it is important to point out the facts of Bishkek today and not from the past. We have towering apartment buildings under construction in the city center and a new shopping center. Bishkek is growing, the culture is alive and history remains intact. One final note, it is unfair to continue repeating that there is a rumor that taxi drivers are always drunk. I use Yandex a lot and I know many of the drivers personally. In the past after the collapse of the Soviet Union it was true. Today Yandex has a fleet of new Toyotas, Kias and Mercedes Benz to meet the needs of different budgets. These drivers are mostly family men who take pride in their work and service. My advice to you is that next time, take the time to walk the districts, listen to the people, ask questions and you will discover a Bishkek that most RUclipsrs fail to do. Get out there and really get the feel of the land. Just some feedback that I hope will help.

      Bishkecks is not interesting. Very Soviet. Parks don’t make a city popular. It’s an art or an architecture what interests tourist. Food is not my favorite. Tourist shows with goats and horses were cruel to me. It’s a country of very friendly but loud people. Sleeping in yurt wasn’t great / bathroom/. The landscapes in the mountains are awesome and trails were absolutely fantastic.

    I appreciate that you made a video about Kyrgyzstan, but please do not spread misinformation:
    Kyrgyzstan does not share the border with Afghanistan
    The literacy rate (i.e. percentage of people who can read and write) in Kyrgyzstan is very high - it is almost 100 %.

    I had a contract with the UN & traveled to Bishkek five times in 2005 - 2006. Wonderful country, I enjoyed it very much. I remember lining up to buy the visa upon arrival & it was, at the time $50.00 for most people but for Americans it was $100.00. Even the Canadians got the $50.00 price. I loved Bishkek & it is very walk-able with lots of wonderful buildings. At that time restaurants were limited but I think much more now. I remember that "Fat boys" was a great hangout. The country is 80% Muslim but in Bishkek they were really laid back & there were no problems. When I flew over to Osh is was more conservative & it was necessary to be more careful. But, Osh has a charm of it's own. I hope now they have better hotels as Osh was a bit basic. I'm getting an inch to return now reading these comments!

    키르기스스탄은 최고의 유목국가들 중 하나입니다. 몽골-튀르크계열 유목국가들인 카자흐스탄, 키르기스스탄은 정말 멋진 국가입니다. 특히 전세계에서 가장 말을 잘타는 유목민족 1위는 몽골족. 그 다음으로 전세계에서 2위로 말을 가장 잘타는 민족들은 중앙아시아의 몽골의 카자흐족, 키르기스족입니다. 또한 몽골, 시베리아, 카자흐스탄, 키르기스스탄, 중국 북부, 러시아은 세계에서 가장 추운 국가로도 악명 높습니다. 그래서 단단히 무장을 하고 가야됩니다. 불교사원은 키르기스스탄뿐 아니라 카자흐스탄, 우즈베키스탄에도 존재합니다. 불교사원은 멋있습니다. 영상 재밌게 잘보고갑니다.👍
    Kyrgyzstan is one of the best nomadic countries. Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, the Mongolian-Turkish nomadic countries, are truly wonderful countries. In particular, the Mongols are the world's best horse riding nomadic people. The next best horse riding peoples in the world are the Kazakhs and Kyrgyz of Mongolia in Central Asia. Additionally, Mongolia, Siberia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Northern China, and Russia are notorious for being some of the coldest countries in the world. So, you have to go well armed. Buddhist temples exist not only in Kyrgyzstan but also in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Buddhist temples are cool. I enjoyed watching the video.👍

Since the salaries are too low in Kyrgyzstan , prices are high, only relatives of authorities may get the job. Corrupted system. Economy survives only for income of money of migrants.

The load, speeds on the wifi are nowhere near 4 G - many days you are lucky to get over 3 G. Local Buses (7:47) marshyrtka - an old Mercedes van that they pack 35-40 people in at a time for inner city travel. There is NO NEED to ask for salt in Kyrgyzstan it is EVERY where - you can even get salted yogurt balls as a 'treat' Kyryt (as you said)
      As a Yankee Guy that speaks Russian and has been in Bishkek for 8 years - it is not an English friendly country - especially in the remote regions. The big hotels and franchise will speak English - but it is hit and miss the rest of the country.

    Maybe just think about what you call 'cheap' and what you call 'weird'. For most people in this world this country isn't cheap. Also what you find weird is totally normal for people from that region. Maybe different than what you're used to, but definitely not weird. You talk as if youre not aware of your privilege and as if your worldview is the norm. Anyways, i understand you probably dont mean no harm, just my point of view :)
