Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Bishkek accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Bishkek and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"There is a fair amount of diversity, though not that many expats for a capital. No real ethnic areas. It isn't hard to meet people if you want, though it's hard to cast a wide net if you don't know Russian, and Kyrgyz are annoyed if you know none of theirs. The markets are a major diversion, especially the big Osj bazaar toward the west," said another expat in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
"Bishkek is a diverse city with a population that is made up of many different ethnicities, including Kyrgyz, Russian, Uzbek, and Dungan. People in Bishkek are generally accepting of differences and there is a strong sense of community and tolerance in the city. The city is also home to a variety of religious groups, including Muslims, Christians, and Buddhists, and people of all faiths are welcomed and respected," wrote a member who made the move to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
