Welcome to Kyrgyzstan

 

Country: Kyrgyzstan

Capital: Bishkek

Population: 6.6 Million

Official languages: Kyrgyz, Russian

I recently traveled here in the summer of 2022 to study the Russian language. I spent two months living in Bishkek attending classes four days a week. The rest of my time was spent hanging out with new friends exploring the country’s beautiful landscapes, nomadic heritage, and Soviet past.
