ENGLISH, sorry I know, I'm lazy...

Hey!
Ok, so finally couple words for those who doesn’t understand polish. Let’s say this is summary of last 3 posts. So I came to Bishkek, capital of Kyrgyzstan. The journey was quite long and, well… boring. I left Moscow 18th February. There was so many people jumping into the train and out, the entrance to the train is really narrow (who was traveling in “plackarnyj” know what I’m talking about) and now you can imagine, me and my huge language trying to get in, together with bunch of other people, and the same time same amount of people going out. Why they were going there and back? Don’t know. So we left Moscow. Was quite cold, but not so cold like for Russia in winter. Views from window – boring. Flat, white, some felling apart villages, sometimes some bigger cities. Nothing special. Than, border between Russia and Kazakhstan. No problems. I was the only one not-Kyrgyz so I didn’t have problems, soldiers were just surprised and interested what I’m doing in this train? So we went from north to south of Kazakhstan. Boring :-) Just step as far as you can see. Nothing was changing behind window. I was just lying down on my bed with book and music. On the morning 22nd February I arrived on border between Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Well, I took long. The Kyrgyz didn’t know that there is law saying that I can enter (as a citizen of Poland) Kyrgyzstan without visa. So they were checking that in some mysterious books, than they had to check my data in computer. And they give this work to girl that have never seen computer before, I got this kind of impression when I saw how she was working on it. And whole train was waiting for me. Than, finally we went towards Bishkek. There I have met Sasha. We know each other trough internet (by hospitality club). He drove me to my new flat. Flat is ok, like you can see I have strange bead, and this is basically all I have. No chair, no table, even in kitchen. No refrigerator. But it’s ok, come on is Kyrgyzstan :-) Next day I went a little around city. I know it from previous visits, but just went to check what have changed. Well, seems that a lot. City is growing! I went also to air company to check how much is ticket here, just in case any of you want to visit me :-) Of course you are more than welcome to come! So ticket from Warsaw (other cities in Europe probably similar, didn’t check US, sorry Cone) to Bishkek there and back with all taxes and fees is 721$ via Istanbul or 732$ via Moscow. So what are you waiting for?
Ok, that’s all so far. Monday I go to check my university I hope they still remember that I was supposed to come :-) We will see. cyu

Dear Mat!
Your story about the journey to Bishkek seems to be interesting but I'm a liitle bit disappointed -no problems on the borders?, no калашников under the mattress?, no sleeping in a brothel?
But, at least u have a nice bed(Mati bed, no bead:P), bed like from the brothel:) and "Теди"( I have in Hungary "Kubu":)
