What is life like as an expat in your area?

"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. The city is also well-connected, with a reliable public transportation system and easy access to the rest of the country. Expats and digital nomads can also find a strong sense of community in Bishkek, with many expat-run businesses and organizations providing support and networking opportunities," said another expat in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

"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," wrote a member who made the move to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
