my last moments in uzbekistan and today we're going to bishkek and from bishkek we're going to
the silicon valley of central asia i'm so excited to show you and to learn more about it and to tell
you stories how business works there how people live there i'm so grateful to uzbekistan for its
wonderful people for its amazing food and for all the amazing experience that i had so grateful for
uzbekistan let's go now it's 6 pm we found this minivan and we're going to bishkek the road is
going to take 12 hours we're gonna arrive early in the morning around 5 a.m gonna be beautiful
view i hope we can still see some mountains with the sunrise it's gonna be amazing so for
now let's just enjoy this ride and this is how our minivan looks like we already prepared some
pillows some blankets because we're gonna sleep when you're going to bishkek from osh make sure
you get the best best deal because some people are gonna tell you price is like three thousand
three and a half thousand when you can get it between one thousand and one thousand five hundred
yeah but not more than that uh our driver got a flat tire so we're here on the side of the road
waiting already for like 15 minutes for him to come back he has all our backpacks and stuff yes
and i just got a fly in my eye and it hurts so bad and it's already 6 30
and i really want to already start moving because it takes so much time all day and we're still
not far still almost the same place driving on this kind of road for the last three hours and
i was waiting and waiting when will we get on the highway until i realized that this is the highway
the road is very bumpy and not finished something is on reconstruction but it looks like the road
never existed here before so far this is the worst car ride i ever had
so we took this night bus sacrificed great views of the mountains so we can take a rest
and tomorrow have a productive day but instead now it's like three or four a.m
and we got a flat tire for a second time because he didn't change he didn't fix it
the first time and also all the way he's listening to the music so loud because
and this is just so frustrating well he driving so dangerous like so fast uh over taking over
the cars at the bridge at the tour next to the to nothing to the in the top of a mountain and i just
can't listen to that music anymore i just want to get home and sleep i'm so done with this right
and we asked him like five or six times to lower the music and he keeps listening it's
so loud and he's sitting next to his speaker and that doesn't help the nice nightmares
for reasons just keeps listening to that very loud saying he needs to see once it
so we just arrived in bishkek
seven hours later than promised but we arrived exhausted and tired can't wait to get some sleep
and honestly i wish nobody ever gets a driver like this because he was face timing while driving
on a highway he was watching tick tocks he was listening to music loud
it was like he was doing everything the driver should never do so can't wait to get some rest
this is gabrielle i just gave him names so we stayed one night in
bishkek now we're going to do some small groceries and head to isa
and now we're on the way in the bus here but if you want to know the bus schedule there's
one useful app you should know it's the end yandex maps it just works here now one single bus ride is
eight euro cents which is eight what's the thing over here yes it's eight eight some which is eight
exactly eight euro cents so we're finally exploring kyrgyzstan and now we're in asia mall
the biggest mall in bishkek and my impression about kyrgyzstan it's it's a very nice mix
of russian arabic and chinese cultures yeah and it feels very free here people being able to
cuddle and hold hands in public and all big brands are going to head to isequal one of the biggest
lakes in the world and must have visit place in kyrgyzstan surrounded by amazing mountains and we
are going to explore silicon valley of kyrgyzstan so we took this uh beautiful camp to the bus
station and from the bus station we're gonna take another bus to the east coal and i hope this is
not too late and we still can find something because now it's 3 44. getting in a bus here is
challenging hectic uh but this is a mashup that drives us there it's around three hours right
we're gonna go to an amazing resort and it's a cool co-working space and we're gonna explore that
for the next few days so from bishkek we're just taking my shootka it's i don't know easy not so
easy it's it's what it is it's like around three years to get there and it's very hectic it's very
crowded the buses go every 10 minutes but the view is amazing you can see a lot of mountains
from the windows so i created a trip on couchsurfing and there was a nice lady
who reached out to me and invited me to come to the lake today they built a big co-working
space in the nature with the mountains with the beach with the lake with the like-minded people
around and a lot of activities they invited me to they have a telegram group chat where
