Kyrgyzstan working again

Monday the 6th I spent the morning helping Asel study for the GRE exam. Then in the early afternoon Tinatin and I met with the Rector of the Kyrgyz Turkish Manas University. We discussed my new NIH funded project to work with Tinatin and how the university will handle the subcontract. The rector is very eager to use our project to improve research at the university. Then I went shopping for art and souvenirs, went for a walk around town and through a nice park which had a lot of nice small sculptures, and had a nice dinner at a small cafe on the edge of the park. I have to remember this cafe ... they had wonderful homemade ice tea. Sorry, no pictures.
