Helping CBT Bokonbaevo

I recently went to Bokonbaevo Village, located on the south shore of Issyk-Kul Lake to assist the new CBT office there that just opened earlier this year. During the week I was there I was requested to test a two day trek into the mountians along with two British guys - so, for work, I got to go see more beautiful pastures and mountains, live in a yurt for two nights, eat good food, and pretend to be a translator for a couple of days. It was fantastic. Oh, I also was able to watch a eagle hunting demonstration - which is why there's a big bird on my arm in one of the photos.
