Welocome and hello.

my name is Paul, I have just created a blog for preperation for my life in Krgyzstan later this summer. I am a political junkie, a student of history both in the academic sense as well as in the recreational sense. I am reading two book at the moment:The strange Death of the Soviet Empire and Nina's Journey Both of these books offer a wealth of information on my primary love, Russian history. My plans are simple I plan to do missionary work in Kyrgyzstan mainly in Bishkek (Frunze), specifically with orphans. To do this I have two plans, one is a bike mission trip, and the other is to simply work in Bishkek and take my own earnings to help others.
Socially I am rather conservative, and this bodes true for my fiscal philosophies for themost part. My favorite non-blog site is : http://forum.protestwarrior.com register there and see if you like it as well. Why Bishkek after five? Well some of my fondest memories of my last trip to my second home happened after five. I would typically go home, have tea with the fam, and later maybe go for a walk (usually ending with a visit to the pub). Play chess, or maybe watch crappy Kyrgyz television =-).
