After a couple hour layover in Germany, the main waive of the Bonecrusher Troop made their way to Bishkek, Kyrgystan on their tour of garden spots in Central Asia over the last couple of days. Bishkek is the capitol of Kyrgystan and is the home of Manus Airport and the Manas Transit Center, through which the majority of US Troops pass on their way to Afghanistan. Here is a You Tube video on the Manas Transit Center:
We are not sure how long our hero will be at the Manas Transit Center, but we believe it will be a couple of days and that he will have a chance to see the sites in Bishkek, in addition to enjoying the US style accommodations offered by the Manas Transit Center. Bishkek has about a million people and is a relatively young city by modern standards. Not real a city until the 1800s, tour books describe it as being heavily influenced by Russian architecture and Russians make up about ten percent of the population. There is still actually a statue of Lenin in one of the squares. More to come when we hear from the hero.
