On Wednesday, Danny leaves the village for a week to participate in a 'Strong women' conference in Cholpon Ata, Issyk Kul. First. he will spend the night in the nearby town, Kerben, then take a 3 hours bus at 7am to Jalalabab. The flight time to Bishkek, one hour, will be the shortest portion of his transit. Finally a 6 hour long drive to Cholpon Ata, Issyk Kul. Perhaps he'll have better internet service for a few day.
Cholpon-Ata, literally means "Venus-father", the name of a mythological protecting spirit is a resort town on the northern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan with a population of 10,525 (2009 census). Cholpon-Ata is known for its view of the imposing alpine ranges of the Tian Shan and an Open Air Museum with about 2000 petroglyphs dating from 800 BC to 1200AD.

Issyk Kul is a lake in Kyrgyzstan. The name refers both to the lake and the oblast (region) containing the lake. The region is centered around the massive Issyk Kul lake, which is the second largest alpine lake in the world. It is completely ringed by the massive snow-capped Tian Shan mountains that lie between 3000 and 4000 meters.
Issyk-Kul means "warm lake" in the Kyrgyz language and although it is surrounded by snow-capped peaks, it never freezes. Issyk-Kul Lake was a stopover on the Silk Road, a land route for travelers from the Far East to Europe.
