It is an OK place, with the US Embassy very active and helpful toward
visiting Americans. While not all creature comforts are available,
reasonable facilitie are available. The city of Bishkek is within 40
minutes of wonderful alpine resorts with snow-capped peaks.
Let me know if you need more details.
