Kyrgyzstan and their taxis

Bishkek

I crossed yet another land border from Andijon, Uzbekistan, into Osh. I was glad to have a bit of time to explore the country after hurtling through eastern Uzbekistan to avoid overstaying my visa. But my initial experience was not a pleasurable one.

I dream visas. When I close my eyes, visa forms and civil servants swirl in front of my eyes, taunting me with literal hoops to jump through.

But success is imminent! I think.
