First and foremost, lets satisfy our stomach?s need: try national, local food. Confused with unknown names??? Here are some suggestions: try lagman, manty, besh-barmak, or pelmeni. I hope your digestion system won?t get confused? 

Second, with re-charged energy and full stomach, lets see cultural side of Bishkek. You can visit museums, exhibitions focused on Asian Culture to experience Asian spirit. You can share the culture shock with your friends.

After museums lets shake up our bodies, and recreational sports center NORUS will definitely help you to boost up. Lots of adrenaline is promised! Choose any kind of sport, you will be offered a qualified trainer to teach or save you in any extreme cases. So, wake upppp!!!!!!!!

Hope you are not tired by now, coz a hot concert is ahead. You will see gilded youth of Bishkek, and maybe find your love(if you do not have)? Who knows? ;) Moreover, Asian singing stars are not common in your country, right?

If you found any interesting personalities on the concert, make sure you got their contact numbers, as you will be inviting them for a hiking to nearby mountains. Do not miss the chance to look at Bishkek from bird?s-eye view. Evergreen paradise?

Now that you are definitely exhausted, lets relax in the arms of nature. Next point is Ala-Archa, a beautiful forest reserve, with an unexplored wilderness? Well, make sure that predatory animals are sleeping? You wanna see the real life in Bishkek? Then it is time to go to local bazaars, like Osh-bazaar, Dordoy. Actually, you can buy souvenirs and presents for your beloved ones there.

Now, go to multi-store supermarkets like Vefa Center, Silkway, Caravan and Beta Stores and compare bazaars with markets. You will have a lot of things to tell your friends about, that?s for sure!

Well, can you think of any other things you feel you have missed? If yes, then follow your intuition. If not, I guess that?s it, the terminal. Well, unless you want to visit orphanages, children?s home, or whatever. Why not? Madonna visited one in Moscow after her concert. Though, is it relevant to your case??

And here comes home-coming, I know. Time is up, and you will be going back home. So, lets make the ?good-bye? walk in the evening through the main roads of Bishkek. It is so different, yet so familiar?

Do not forget Bishkek, and next time there will be lots of other things to do here. So, you are always welcome back.
