Really enjoyed this one mate footage looking super crisp! Really interesting to see also the food looked pretty dam good!

[@timtense]

Thanks mate. The food was pretty alright but not the best ever 🤣

Quick correction on traffic lights. I have been coming to Bishkek for 25 years and now I live here as a retired American. There are traffic lights at all intersection for pedestrians, you have to look straight ahead and you will see the signal for pedestrians, look up for the signal for vehicular traffic. The government has exceeded safety standards on traffic signals. Most KZbinrs arrive in Bishkek and speak without truly looking around and understanding their surroundings, Drivers are no crazier than the USA and Europe. It is a shame to misinform about Bishkek. Take a deep breath, look around and enjoy the moment before video taping. Once you see, then you will understand Bishkek for the beauty and wonders of this incredible country. As a retired American in Bishkek I am honored to live here and appreciate the people of this splendid country.

[@timtense]

Drivers weren't that bad indeed. Brussels traffic can be worse at times 😂

[@bekmashrapov1858]

OMG! Bishkek is my hometown, I am homesick, far away in Toronto. Oily dough pastry is called "boorsok", the girl, who explained how to go to the restaurant, actually suggested it to you. Please try also "Güro lagman" or just "lagman", you might like it. I hope you had a good time in Kyrgyz Republic, always welcome back.

[@timtense]

Oh I didn't realize it! I tried lagman already. I'm still here for a few weeks so plenty of time to try new food 😍

[@bekmashrapov1858]

@@timtense Cool! Enjoy your time! BTW, I was in Belgium 4 years ago, it was fun, enjoyed waffles, fries and chocolate.

[@timtense]

@@bekmashrapov1858 awesome. You forgot to try our beer? 😂

[@bekmashrapov1858]

@@timtense forgot to mention, tried the beer as well, it was good.

[@timtense]

@@bekmashrapov1858 in glad to hear that 😅

[@timtense]

What do you think about this drink? It's definitely an acquired taste.

[@bekmashrapov1858]

Since Kyrgyz people were nomads, our traditional drinks were supposed to be nutritious and easy to make, you should also try Kumys ( fermented horse mare milk).

[@timtense]

Ooh I see. I tried kumys as well. Special taste 😅

[@alexwander7579]

Welcome to Kyrgyzstan! Issyk-Kul is also nice place

[@timtense]

Thanks! I will be at Issyk-Kul probably in a week or so 🤙🏻

[@utener1578]

Welcome to Kyrgyzstan 👐🏻🇰🇬

[@timtense]

Thank you very much 😊

[@Laura_calatoreste]

Can’t wait to go there myself. Have you learned some basic Russian as I can imagine it might me helpful there? And you got a lot of drinks tasting 😄 food tasting is not more cool

[@timtense]

Haha I learned some basics but not much yet. Maybe I should do a food tour next 😅

[@hassanabbassargana906]

Good👍🏻welcome bro

[@kybatmyrza7716]

Рахмат!

[@timtense]

My pleasure!

[@newgabe09]

Well, I'm in Bishkek and a few corrections: there's plenty of clearly visible pedestrian crossing signs that even tell you how many seconds you have left to cross. Drivers are good at stopping even for you even when there's no lights. Victory, not Victoria square :)

[@bekbekov2516]

Welcome to Kyrgyzstan

[@timtense]

Thanks 😍

Lots of love from Dine BD♥️🇧🇩

Lots of love back!

It is impossible to draw superficial conclusions about the country. You could learn a few words before you go to this country. Your country and ours are completely different and cannot be compared. In every country there is both good and bad. You will not be able to understand or see the peculiarities of any country in one visit. Regarding the places of food in the city there are a lot of cafes and restaurants in which a great variety of Asian boyud is delicious and not expensive. There are many beautiful places to relax in nature.

[@bekbekov2516]

Very good 👍👍👍

[@timtense]

Thanks for the support!

I wonder if they make and sell the Russian drink called "Kvass" in the stan nations..

[@timtense]

I saw it quite a few times in the streets and shops but didn't try it. What is it exactly?

[@walking-talking]

@@timtense Kvass is a drink that was initially created in Russia during the soviet period if i recall correctly.. However it's still very popular in the country and is also made and sold in some other slavic nations in Europe and exported as well.. etc. Instead of "Cola" the Russians drank Kvass! If you like Kombucha, then you'd enjoy it.

[@valarmorgulis3321]

So you are searching for your five fingers?

[@timtense]

Uh, not sure what you mean by that 😅

[@abuhammad]

@@timtense I saw in the cover image of your video saying "searching for Beshbarmaq", that means five fingers in my language.

[@abuhammad]

@@timtense hahaha, I didn't know Beshbarmaq was the name of one of their dishes.

[@timtense]

Oh really and which language is that? It's the national dish in Kyrgyzstan 😅
