Where the heck is Kyrgyzstan? Friday, February 03, 2006. February 4, 2006 (A.K.A 10 days before my birthday! Clean and Tasty Love. January 7, 2006. Not only have I traveled thousands of miles, all the way around the word, to watch America’s Funniest Videos and The Nanny dubbed into Russian, but my ears are still being assaulted by the 90’s musical stylings of Ace of Base. Is there anywhere in the world that I can hide from such monstrosities of nature? Have you hugged your Peace Corps issued heater today?

http://robyngarrard.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Where the heck is Kyrgyzstan? Sunday, December 18, 2005. Life in snowy/muddy Tyup is alright. I’m told that it is unseasonably warm for Tyup right now. It’s always cold but not bone-chilling right now, though I have my Peace Corps-issued heater running on high ‘round-the-clock! There has been a full moon at nite for the last few days and it illuminates the snow on the mountains. To not stop and gaze (even though I’m freezing my butt off) would be a crime. Fun for the whole family! I haven’t eaten horse y...

Where the heck is Kyrgyzstan? Sunday, October 16, 2005. Hello from Kyrgyzstan (finally! I had a whole blog entry saved on my jump drive but for some reason it is refusing to work. Just my luck as always! Anyways, I am alive and well and living with a nice Turkish/Russian host family. They feed me pretty much grease and sugar for all meals but the tea is great! I am learning Russian (very slowly) and am looking forward when I can tell creepy guys to f-off! I hope all is well and I miss you all!

Where the heck is Kyrgyzstan? Wednesday, March 01, 2006. First Day of Spring. February, 23rd, 2006. So today is Men’s Day and I think it’s great that the men of Kyrgyzstan, (finally) get a day off from cooking, cleaning, raising children. Oh wait. The festivities started, for me, two days ago. The other teachers at my school invited me to a local café to celebrate Men’s Day. At first I was thinking, Why would I go celebrate the most redundant day ever? February 28, 2006. Anyways, I want to wish everyone ...
