  Good video but just a little feedback. I am an American expat that has been living now for three years. Your video seems like a previous video that has the same videos and images that is outdated. For example,  the buses and vans date back to the former Soviet Union. Today Bishkek has a fleet of new electric trolleys and some old trolleys. These trolleys represent Bishkeks major improvement in public transportation and they  are spacious and comfortable. Recently Bishkek has also added a new fleet of buses that run on clean natural gas.  Both buses and trolleys cost 11 soms//13 cents US.  In reference to literacy please understand that this  really needs to be updated. There are major American and British schools that focus on English and many adults and kids have full access to these schools.  Bishkek is also home to the new American University of Central Asia with staff from the US, Britain and many other countries. Literacy rates have soared over the years and many Kyrgyz and Russians speak English. As someone who is grateful to be living here, it is important to point out the facts of Bishkek today and not from the past. We have towering apartment buildings under construction in the city center and a new shopping center. Bishkek is growing, the culture is alive and history remains intact. One final note, it is unfair to continue repeating that there is a rumor that taxi drivers are always drunk. I use Yandex a lot and I know many of the drivers personally.  In the past after the collapse of the Soviet Union it was true. Today Yandex has a fleet of new Toyotas, Kias and Mercedes Benz to meet the needs of different budgets. These drivers are mostly family men who take pride in their work and service. My advice to you is that next time, take the time to walk the districts, listen to the people, ask questions and you will discover a Bishkek that most Youtubers fail to do. Get out there and really get the feel of the land. Just some feedback that I hope will help.

  Another informative video on a lesser-known country in Central Asia. I like the balance of history and culture…

  Thank you for this quality video. I would like to travel to Kyrgyzstan one day and I think it gave a good perception of what do I need to have if I want to go for such an adventure

  I appreciate that you made a video about Kyrgyzstan, but please do not spread misinformation:<br>Kyrgyzstan does not share the border with Afghanistan<br>The literacy rate (i.e. percentage of people who can read and write) in Kyrgyzstan is very high - it is almost 100 %.
