Silk road skate trip. Part 3 - Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan. One of our favourite Stans. Seemingly one of the least corrupt, most welcoming and most difficult to spell of the Stans, we had some great experiences crossing the country.  From sampling nasvay (a drug made from tobacco and chicken shit) for the first time, getting to swim in beautiful turquoise lakes, getting stoned with pyramid scheming kids in an MMM office, eating kebabs and skating a lot of manuals, Kyrgyzstan was a good time.

Thug life.

Kirill is adored by women all over the globe.

Alexey. The real photographer.

Signature moves.

Le Specs advert.

NASVAY. Central Asia's most popular drug, made of chicken shit and tobacco. This taxi driver gave Stas his first hit. (See below)

You stuff it down your gums and it makes you feel like shit. Dizzy and nauseous. Great! I'm convinced it poisoned me too. (It is made from a bird's fecal matter after all).

Patrik Wallner. The legend rocking the 'tash.

Kirill loves getting his junk out.

The driver and the minibus for our two day roadtrip through the mountains.

The shepherd and his flock.

Street warriors.

The commander. I bet he has some stories to tell.

Drugs.

Traditional dress. 

Yurts. Strangely reminiscent of Mongolia.

They invited me into their home and tried to feed me.
