Did you find that a lot of the girls were hookers? I spent over two weeks in Bishkek and it was hard to tell sometimes. I thought the legit girls kinda kept to their own groups. It still is a Muslim country afterall. It was a pretty weird place nightlife-wise.
One of the BEST countries for nature shit and trekking though. Amazing freaking lakes.
Dude,great to see a fellow Bishkeker veteran on here!
Never really saw any pros I don't think. I heard rumours about certain regulars in the Golden Bull working but not sure. It's a poor country though so they must be there. Actually for such a poor and run down country it's surprising,yet promising,that the women have resisted the temptation on the whole.
Mate could not agree more with you regarding trekking and nature! I didn't see as much as I would have liked but made it out to Issyk Kul and into the national parks around Bishkek,awesome places! I have friends who went on a climbing expedition and scaled a huge peak in the Tian Shan,would love to do that too one day. Great little country.
