#80: No Vacation This Summer

As summer is coming to an end, vacation seems such a distant dream. Unexpected sale of the bungalow changed my plans, including those of other people. My grandma will will be disappointed; she really liked it. However, my procrastination at work is the real cause of my missing out this year on summer vacation. I've been extremely lazy lately and putting off work, accumulating everything for August. I have to bring myself together at my new job as the 6-month probation is due in September. Taking Mondays and/or Fridays off might be only option for rest. At least, I will have fun in the mountains coming winter.

#57: Issykkul and Naryn

During the last four days I spent a lot of time on the road between Bishkek and Issykkul with friends and Bishkek and Naryn with colleagues. On weekends, Boris+Asyla, Meder+Elya, and me spend a very relaxing time at Meder's bungalow. Jumped into the cold water of the lake, got some tan (although I burned by back a bit and it is itching now), and visited the Georgievskiy Gorge. On Monday, left to Naryn on a work trip and met journalists from Kochkor and Naryn. Ate a lot of meat and drink fresh kymyz. Two interns joined me on the trip. Returned with a project in mind to start in Naryn.

I am hoping to travel to Osh and Batken at the end of May.
