Bishkek is chilly, with "highs" of - 6 and lows of - 25 degrees Celcius, but it doesn't really feel that cold. It helps to have a trendy fur hat, as you can see in this photo of me standing next to one of the registration authority's cars.
I am a freelance blog glamour puss, and specialist in international relations, who flies around the world to take photos that will hopefully entertain my public. In between, I do a bit of land law consulting, just to keep my friends and the tax authorities thinking that I have a real job.
