This particular weekend would be my last time for fun in the
sun and beer on the beach. I left the Friday evening with friends and some
couchsurfers staying with my friend Adinai for Кадже-Сай (‘Kadzhe-Say’), a
small town on the southern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul. Adinai had organized the
accommodation already and we stayed for two nights in a quiet house. We spent
the days on the beach chatting or swimming far enough out in the lake to make
every Kyrgyz person wonder if we would return alive.
We all had a good time and at the end one couchsurfer
departed to travel on to Каракол (‘Karakol’), a city on the far eastern side of
Issyk-Kul. The rest of us caught a marshrutka back to Bishkek with the
exception of Adinai who got off at her village to visit family for a few days.
It was a nice, quiet weekend and I can successfully impress the locals having
been to Issyk-Kul three times this summer.
