the journey to get here
Tuesday morning I was finished with finals, Wednesday I moved into storage, and by Friday I was on the plane. Since there was a huge storm in NY the plane was delayed and there was a good deal of turbulence-but I love that stuff..it was the kind where everyone claps when you land... Jetblue was great and gave animal crackers as snacks (way better than peanuts or pretzels). Also, they gave us free movies since we were so delayed. On the plane I met someone who was also traveling from Seattle to Turkey and we were able to grab some delicious Turkish food together before our next flight. He was so kind and it really made me want to travel to Turkey one day. Turkish air was wonderful and we arrived in Bishkek 40 minutes ahead of schedule where someone from the school met me around 2:30 AM. We searched for the apartment and made it around 5:00 where my host mother was up to greet me :)

Hey Jessica, I just found your blog here and I am leaving for Kyrgyzstan in about 10 days actually. I cannot figure out how else to contact you but I am curious as to what program you went with (I may have more questions later on too if you see this)? Also, I saw your other blog with the photography, I hope you're still taking pictures!

ReplyDeleteI went through the London School of Bishkek. They provide your housing and independent Russian/Kyrgyz lessons if you need. Yeah, let me know of any questions you have, I would love to answer them!
