"Life for expats and digital nomads in Bishkek is an exciting and unique experience. The city is a vibrant and diverse place, with a mix of cultures and languages. Expats and digital nomads can find a wide range of activities to enjoy, from exploring the city's many parks and monuments to sampling the local cuisine. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to live and work abroad.

"Family is easily the main focus, with work a distant second for all except the richest and poorest (which make up about half of the city and are busy but nearly unemployed). Socializing is pretty limited except the most informal family visits because there are so few evening activities and it seems pretty dangerous after 11 pm. For expats, dinner out is very common because it's pretty tasty and very cheap," said another expat in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
