Kyrgyzstan is one of those places that people don't know much about and, because of that, tend to think that it's a scary and mysterious part of the world. In fact, it's one of the most interesting places to be at the moment because it still has places which are not Westernised at all. Song Kol lake is one of them - there is no electricity, no Internet or phone service, no shower or even toilets. Basic life conditions in nomadic yurts, cold nights, starry skies and beautiful nature - that's basically all one would find there.
The closest thing to art here is probably an old carpet hanging in the yurt, so it's definitely not a place to look for it. However, it is a place to make art about.
Thank you for your blog.
