It was lovely weather around 20 degrees during the day and the modern new city was designed with plenty of greenery and large sidewalks making strolling around getting lost the best past time. It became one of my downtime place to just rest up and recharge while cafe hopping letting the mind be free of thoughts.

Osh Bazaar in Bishkek seam like the main tourist thing to do which was a mumble jumbo mess of a big market selling almost anything you can think of but when it comes to specialized things that I was hunting such as bike parts or unique stickers, of course there were non to be found.
Nevertheless it was a good walk around Bishkek city going from bazaars to shopping malls to street trinket tables. I did however found rolling tobacco in Bishkek which was very welcomed since all my supply since Malaysia had been used up.

I visited Bishkek state history museum which gave a quick overview of Kyrgyzstan history but not much depth could be gleamed. I find this mostly true for the whole of Central Asia when I travel.
My lack of Central Asia history makes it even harder to gain the in-depth understanding of their culture and society even when visiting the museums. The people while friendly, were unable to fully converse and impart deep conversation due to language barrier.

The last unexpected find in Bishkek was finding a Casino. Here I paid the learning fee on how to play a new game called Russian Poker.
