Bishkek

I've poseted several pictures of Bishkek.  The pictures and captions speak for themselves, so I won't bother describing them.

Bishkek is a small city, as far as capitals of countries go.  It's in the Chui valley, on the northern border of the country (not very far from Almati, Kazakstan.  The center of the city is filled with monuments (like any soviet city).
