Since 1997 when we went to India, we have sent out newsletters to keep people informed about what we are doing, which we called our 'Epistles'. The last we sent was number thirty seven! As we embark on a new adventure, we felt that it was appropriate to upgrade - so welcome to our new look e-pistle!

Felix's First Five Days

We asked Felix about his first five days in Kyrgyzstan...



It is very hot! I really like our new flat, which is very spacious and my room is cool (not the temperature!) I like the food, especially the fresh fruit - we have had water melon, nectarines, plums and strawberries.









We have walked a lot! The city is quite green - there are a lot of trees and parks, which brings shade (hurrah!). Yesterday we visited our school and I like the look of it. It has air conditioning everywhere inside which is good.

Today we went to a large local market, the Osh Bazaar, which had billions of sweets! You could also buy fruit, home equipment, bathroom equipment, bread, vegetables, dried fruits and nuts, sports equipment, meat, Korean salad which we had for supper and lots more.








I have really enjoyed my first five days in Bishkek and will be looking forward to the rest of my time here!

Felix, over and out!
