February 13, 2023 - one of my adult students has friends in America and recently received a package from them with American snacks in it. She gifted me these which I had never tried before. They were surprisingly good, although I prefer salty/buttery popcorn to sweet popcorn
February 12, 2023 - bought dragonfruit at the bazaar yesterday. I wouldn’t say dragonfruit is rare, but it is uncommon and expensive. I haven’t eaten any in a long time and it was better than I remembered
February 8, 2023 - went to a super small zoo but saw some pretty cute animals like this meerkat. Also saw one of the workers who takes care of the animals interact with them and she seemed sweet and sensitive, so that seems promising for their experience of captivity
February 5, 2023 - left a friend’s apartment today to find 5 buckets of water and cleaning supplies in the elevator like someone had been cleaning?
February 4, 2023 - Tess of the D’Urbevilles and Chingiz Aitmatov (red books on the shelf below) in a bookstore
January 30, 2023 - bought kimbap with shrimp to eat before my Russian lesson because I was quite hungry after work
January 29, 2023 - I’ve probably shared a picture of this statue before, but I know I haven’t shared this exact picture. This is the Manas statue at Ala-Too Square, the main square in Bishkek
January 28, 2023 - My first time skiing in Kyrgyzstan! I’ve only skiied one other time in my life and that was 10 years ago, so I thought skiing wouldn’t be so fun. Surprisingly, I seemed to have pretty good muscle memory of how to ski and would love to go again
January 25, 2023 - I’ve recently discovered that I’m a fan of Ulker brand chocolate bars and cookies. Today I found an Ulker brand snack I had never seen before, so I bought it and tried it. Unsurprisingly, it was also good
January 23, 2023 - forgive my ignorance as I’m not a parent nor have I ever bought any baby products in my life, but is this something we have in the US? Diapers for girls and diapers for boys?
