49. Stage 'Bishkek'

I'm in Bishkek today, having arrived and settled in at the guesthouse 'Crocus'. I have a single room with breakfast for $15/night.

The time after my arrival was entirely focused on my visa application for Russia. I needed to schedule an appointment with the embassy and collect copies of various documents. Everything went quite smoothly. A nearby copy shop took care of printing my documents and copying several IDs, all for 50 Som (approximately €0.60 for 12 copies). In the evening, I managed to have a nice meal out, which had been a bit neglected throughout the day. Tomorrow, I intend to make another attempt to find a workshop that might be able to repair the shock absorber. Additionally, I still need half a liter of motor oil (just in case).
