What do I need to know before moving to Kyrgyzstan?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Kyrgyzstan, they said...

"Expats should be aware that Kyrgyzstan is a predominantly Muslim country and that they should respect local customs and traditions. It is also important to note that Kyrgyzstan is a cash-based economy, so it is important to have access to cash when needed. Expats should also be aware that the country has a harsh climate, with cold winters and hot summers, so they should be prepared for the weather. Additionally, expats should be aware that the country has a high crime rate, so they should take extra precautions when travelling. Finally, expats should be aware that the country has a limited infrastructure, so they should be prepared for a slower pace of life," said a member in Kyrgyzstan.
