It occurred to me that there are some amusements associated with life in Bishkek that I have not hitherto shared with my faithful blog readers. One of these is wiggling sheep butts. On the roads in between Bishkek and the rest of the country, one is treated to bucolic sights of free-ranging cows and sheep, Kyrgyz boys and men on donkeys and horses, and, of course, vaguely grassy mountains in the background. Trouble comes when the aforementioned animals decide to venture onto the road, as they frequently do (ah, the free-ranging life). Hence this picture taken from a marshrutka; we were stuck behind the sheep indefinitely, it seemed, but to everyone's relief, the sheep soon veered off the road into greener pastures.
