Photo trip to Kyrghyzstan in summer 2013

you like the steppe? you think that the road will be safe?

I am quite familar with Siberian roads by car in winter (including 2000 km on Kolyma road by -50°C) and in summer. I used paths in Siberian mountains (Vostoky Sayany)riding horses. I have already traveled in Uzbekistan (from Andijan to Samarkand via Khiva), Tadjikistan (From Dushanbe to Kyzyl Art via Wakhan) and a little bit in Kyrgyzstan (Sary-Tash to Osh). The question of sefe or not is not an issue for me. If local people, including kids and old people, travel on some ways, I do not see why I should avoid these ways. I just avoid dangerous people and people who drink alcohol.

oh my God! ! ! you love difficulties? you don't love comfort? why?
I am surprised to such people. we here were tired of all this and there is a wish to run from here.
I went by the car in steppes across Kazakhstan. it is horror! speed under 200, and seems that you stand still.
Yes. learn Siberian road. winter frosts - 50. you run the risk of ...

Bernard, je vis en Sibérie orientale - Territoire de Krasnoïarsk. Notre place est appelée la Sibérie de la Suisse. Venez à nous, je vais vous montrer des endroits que vous n'oublierez jamais! Oui guérilleros et des bandits sur la route - pas! Svetlana exagère le danger ... Venez en Sibérie, été, nous avons chaud et beau! Au Kirghizistan, l'été est très chaud soleil ... Je vous encourage à visiter le Kirghizistan en Septembre - Octobre.
PS Siberian Snow Maiden sont plus attrayants que les femmes en Ukraine! C'est vrai!

Bernard!
I think you need to move your writing to another topic, such as "I ask the Board." Maybe more people will see your request.
If you will not mind the moderators.
I wish fulfillment of dreams for You

я не преувеличиваю. вероятно они устали от комфорта и ищут трудности с нашими дорогами и всякими опастностями.
на фото он был зимой.последние годы очень холодные зимы ниже 50 градусов . сломается у него машина или не заведется ...это он в своей стране позвонит и быстро примчатся слесаря .
и конечно, Сибирь со Швейцарией ну никак не сравнить

The grass is always greener in the neighbor’s field.

Anyway, Sveta, I observed that your opinion is largely shared among Russian people even if they claim that Russia is the best country. Last time I went to Russian consulate in Paris, a lady, who probably knows just Paris and Moscow told me: "What? You want a tourist visa for Russia? But it is not true! We will not give it to you. Nobody goes 7 times to Russia for tourism".

I love Siberia. I met, there, with wonderful people: Russians, Buriats, Nanais, Yakuts, Soyots. Svetlana you live on BAM. This is the most gorgeous civil engineering work of the XX century. I will never forget my trip, alone, from Taishet to Komsomolsk na Amure. Alone, I was not really... I was the first Frenchman (or veen Westerner) most of the people of the train have seen. Knowing no Russian words, I got many interviews   Moreover, landscape is absolutely fascinating. I have, too, a permanent nostalgia of Yakutia in winter. I was 4 times on Baikal, the most fascinating lake of the World. I attented two expeditions to Saian mountains, no Westerner tourists there etc... Siberian wonders are just huged and not spoiled. They deserve consideration and admiration.

Natalya, ce n'est pas très gentil ce que vous dites sur les Ukrainiennes.   J'ai des excellents amis en Ukraine, spécialement dans l'ouest du pays. J'ai photographié des modèles ukrainiennes absolument ravissantes. Et puis, en Sibérie, on trouve aussi beaucoup de gens d'origine ukrainienne. Et puis je voyage pour apprendre pas pour comparer      
J'apprécie beaucoup votre proposition concernant Krasnoïarsk. Cette partie des Saians ainsi que l'Altai m'attirent particulièrement. Je n'en connais que les récits d'Ossendovky et l'histoire d'Agafia.
Pour mois, les plus belles Sneguruskas sont à Yakutsk  Mais on les trouve pas l'été. Ce n'est la pas la saison.   Sur la photo, il s'agit de la fille de Laura et de Piotr, un shaman de Yakutsk.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will follow it.

Sorry Lidia, I can't find the topic. Do you mean "Wall" or "Let's share"? Many thanks for your help.

I live 600 miles from Lake Baikal, but never been there ... and honestly I do not. but I was in Paris and in many other countries. i'm Ukrainian.... can therefore me pulls to the south.... to the west.
nevertheless agree, in Russia more difficult life. means to you it is pleasant to overcome barriers.
in Siberia, a lot of harmful plants. in our city there are several. hardly anyone likes to breathe harmful emissions.
you have not learned to drink a lot like Russian?
to me one Englishman bragged that is familiar with the Russian people and knows some Russian words: "vodka, glass, pour"

Я имею ввиду "Прошу совета"

Hello Bernard!
I saw a small article on the Internet about a French family. They continued to live in Kyrgyzstan. Now they organize travel for tourists Kyrgystanu. These many people come from abroad, France, Germany, Austria .... But there is no contact information. Names are not. A small excerpt from the TV news.
Maybe you'll find them in the French sites.

Добрый день Бернард одобряю Ваш выбор посетить Кыргызстан ! Могу вам сказать конечно плохие дороги до озера Сон- Куль , но это такая первозданная не тронутая цивилизацией красота! Думаю Вам очень понравиться . Сам Бишеке архитектурно мало интересен так как истории у него как у Парижа и Рима нет , но настоящая вкусная еда и вполне гостеприимные и добрые жители.

Hi, Bernard! I'm kind envy your ability to travel and learn new things. Thank you for your beautiful pictures, giving the opportunity to enjoy this amazing world. Good luck and new experiences!

Bernard, its my travel to Kyrghyzstan, summer 2008   if you like i can continue

I had a recent change in my plans. I have an opportunity to visit Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan, this summer. It is already a long time I am dreaming to visit this area.
I still want to go to Kyrgyzstan. I postpone my trip to next year.
Many thanks for all the kind advices here attached. We keep in touch.

я думаю вы пишите репортажи .это ваш способ зарабатывания денег .о у вас работы непочатый край .удачи вам .

Zoya, what you write, here on a public forum, is absolutely non acceptable! I will ask the webmaster to ban you from this website. You are, here, for free. But, we, men, pay to be on the forum. And we do not pay to get insulted. Here are the trips I already did: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bernardgrua/collections/

извините ,если обидела .

Бернард, все в порядке, не переживайте Вы так за скептицизм. Нам это свойственно, и женщины на самом деле переживают, мало ли что может случиться с Вами в таких диких местах как Киргизия. Но так как Вы человек военный, я уверенна, что Вы справитесь с любой проблемой. Мне приятно, что Вы были в Сибири, до 9-ти лет я жила в Красноярске, и это самые крепкие и надежные (в физическом и духовном смысле) люди. Думаю, Вы в этом уже убедились.
Удачи Вам и больше прокладывайте путей в наших широких просторах, а то таких адекватных иностранцев становится всё меньше, одни инфантильные "ботаники" приезжают... Выкладывайте Ваши замечательные фотографии, в любом случае нам интересно знать Ваше мнение. ))

C'est fantastique mon cher Bernard! Merci beaucoup!
