A few pictures of my village

I walked around my village a few days ago and took some pictures, these are the result. If anyone has any questions or anything leave them in the comments and I'll definitely answer, or call me (!!!) or email me, I love to talk about Kyrgyzstan I'm just not that into writing blog posts, I'd prefer to just post pictures; I think they're more interesting anyway.

My school.

The front of my school.

My local shopping options. For some reason the usual old guys squatting outside drinking vodka were absent that day, but I'm sure you can all imagine.

A couple cornstalks.

The main street in my village.

Mountains

I took this picture directly behind my village. The village itself is on a flat plain in front of those mountains and their foothills.

This canal supplies all the water for my village. People divert it through open ditches to use for bathing, washing their clothes/dishes/cars etc. and for irrigating their fields. Needless to say, I got sick a lot when I first got to site.

The cat with my host brother Doorun.

Startled kitten.

My new kitten, he was black when I got him but has since turned gray,very strange.
