2007 spent with Klaudia for 4 days in Bishkek and surroundings to select LOGO interns and discuss research opportunities. The neo-liberal country is very heterogeneous. Many German cars, the public sector rather neglected and the average monthly income very low (50 €/month for university employees). With a German teacher she visits companies, drives into the mountains and looks at everything at the university. The landscape of the mountains is already very interesting, the little flat country rather not. With money, life here is easy.
