| BISHKEK (KYRGYZSTAN) |
|
Kyrgyzstan is located in Central Asia. After the disintegration of former USSR Kyrgyzstan became independent country. Its neighters are: Uzbekistan, Khazakastan and Tajikstan. It is a country of striking contrasts - land of powerful mountains covered with eternal snow and alpine meadows with placers of flowers; impetuous rivers bordered with cliffs and foamy waterfalls; and steppes with the smell of wormwood - it is a land of blue lakes and green valleys. We were in Kyrgyzstan during the years 1994-1999.

Singapore needs no introduction. Everybody knows, it is famous for shopping. We visited Singapore on our way to Delhi from Suriname in the year 2000. Singapore was founded as a British trading colony in 1819. It joined the Malaysian Federation in 1963 but separated two years later and became independent. In Singapore you can find people of many religions: e.g. Buddhist (Chinese), Muslim (Malays), Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Taoist, Confucianist. It has tropical, hot, humid, rainy climate.
