Took a marshrutka to Karasu In the morning (30 minutes ride, 20 Som). There is a big bazaar in Karasu

and there were a lot of Chinese traders doing wholesale business at the market. Most of the products in Kyrgyzstan are made in China and many clothings and goods have Chinese brand name on it.

Took a shared taxi to Bishkek (1000 Som ~USD$22) at 2pm instead of flying.

Stopping for a break, with other passengers.

For the first half of the journey, the view was pretty flat.

However, when we drove around the mountains, it’s too dark to take pictures of the beautiful scenary.

Arrived in Bishkek at around 12am. Went to Hotel Ak Sary which is quite dirty and Sakura guesthouse was closed, so finally I bought the taxi driver food and drinks and slept in his car which was quite cold.
