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 Your video seems like a previous video that has the same videos and images that is outdated.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 KZbinrs fail to do. Get out there and really get the feel of the land. Just some feedback that I hope will help.

I love your reaction, dude! Seems like you've become a local, can't call yourself an expat. Respect!

[@zainabyusuf5044]

The most useful KZbin comment ever! 👌🏼

[@utahdan231]

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.

[@deniserichards2187]

ive just come back from a Stans holiday.. Absolutely beautiful place and lovely people. Amazing scenery everywheee. . It was my favourite of the Stans.

[@tereziastampf405]

Thank you for this quality video. I would like to travel to Kyrgyzstan one day and I think it gave a good perception of what do I need to have if I want to go for such an adventure

I visited Kyrgyzstan last summer, such a wonderful experience that really marked me! And your video just brought back so many good memories... and nostalgia! 🥰 Your videos are made so well, cheers!!

[@erturtemirbaev5207]

Hi. Where are you from?

[@sheikhboyardee556]

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!

[@unknownyoutuberrrrrr]

Hi, thanks for this informative video. I would like to ask if you can recommend a travel and tours agency, and another question if we can purchase a group tours in bishkek?

[@uldos3193]

I would recommend local Kyrgyzstani agencies. They are much cheaper and have more expertise. I think Ak Sai travel if I'm not mistaken is quite good

[@JamK-qu3rx]

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 %.

[@rpvideos8620]

That was a great narrative as I'm going to visit soon. Tq for the overall picture of the country

[@erturtemirbaev5207]

Right. You should visit Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬

[@artur_wala]

do you remember the name of german bar in Bishkek that you’ve mentioned?

[@BloodSoldierRB]

Id love to know if its realistic to do anything in Kyrgystan if I go for 3-4 days maximum?

WOW Lady at 6:46 .. I want to move there, forget visiting. I don't want to grow old in the USA. I'm all for this type of Lifestyle ~☆❤

[@uldos3193]

In a rural areas, you can literally knock in any door and ask them if you can stay overnight. You will get fed and food provided too. Guest is from the god thew say.

[@azackmatoff2570]

Literacy rate not high? Dude, don't spread the wrong facts 😂

[@user-ch7ol7bb5h]

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.👍

What about traveling alone? Is it safe? Coming from an Asian country.

[@TheGreatCatsby-pd2tt]

July-August is better.

[@erturtemirbaev5207]

You can come in autumn. It's safe country. Food is good. You should visit Issyk-Kul region as well as the southern part the country.

It depens where. In Tien Shan is rather high, some trails 15K feet above sea level.

There are many medical colleges where English is a medium. Prices as i guess is not high.

[@erturtemirbaev5207]

Are you from Pakistan?

[@uxaines8910]

Most of Indian and Pakistani students regret about coming to Kyrgyzstan, education system is corrupted, India and Pakistan included some medical universities of Kyrgyzstan in blacklist. Most international students struggle with housung etc

[@AlhajiKamara-mr9usm]

What types of jobs people do mostly

[@erturtemirbaev5207]

Different kind of jobs. Many sell different items in local markets.

[@uxaines8910]

Nothing special, most of the population are migrants , they're fleeing to Russia, S.Korea, Japan,Europe, England, USA,Arab Emirates for jobs, and send their money to homland. 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.

[@roma78877]

What state of America are you from? In almost all videos you mention a terrible winter in my country) Probably from Arizona where the historical maximum was 128F?

[@michaelpaiva9924]

He's probably from California or Florida my take I'm from Massachusetts where we get some really bad weather EVEN I will say that Mountainous region Winters are way more fearce and Temps drop lower, so I imagine he could be from anywhere as his accent is pretty basic , in Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Northern NY near Canada get some of the worst winters in the States I would put New England preferably Vermont, Maine as somewhere around the top 10 of the worst winters in the US, Massachusetts could get 4 blizzards a Winter or none a winter its hit or miss but I enjoy that we get to experience all 4 seasons in there full entirety.

POR LAND 😅😅

[@uldos3193]

90 percent of info is correct. 10 isnt. Like border with Afghanistan and literacy rate.

[@dedeborya9015]

Digital Nomad Status in Kyrgyzstan is hardly digital - you will have to meet no less than 11 government clerical widgets face to face and EVERY document will have to be translated from english and into Kyrgyz - typically 600-700 som a shot. and of course - you will need a local lawyer to navigate the ever expanding and pedantic maze of requirements and paperwork. The event will be no less than 500 USD - *NOT DIGITAL* *NOT ONLINE*

[@dedeborya9015]

There are NOT alot of Americans here - there are less than 2000 in the entire country - and most of those are on official 'post' employment. 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.

[@barbaravanderven8956]

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 :)

[@olharadchuk]

I agree with you. When people from the Western countries call something cheap, they do not keep in mind it is not cheap for locals. It's kind of ignorant to say so.

[@elvirakelgenbaeva7769]

Very biased attitude. It looks as if the person has not been to the country but is judging by the videos posted by other bloggers.
