Back in Kyrgyzstan

Here are just a few photos from my trip to Kyrgyzstan last month...

Sunset on the snowy mountains behind Bishkek snowy despite the fact it was 30+ degrees. You'll have to excuse the lack of focus, it was through a window, and I was rather drunk thanks to the tendency of the Kyrgyz to drink vodka toasts in between every mouthful of food in their seven course banquets. Every second toast being a "womens' toast" where the women are expected to drink to the bottom of the glass.

And a few random monuments... sorry, no guidebook, can't tell you what they were.
