for the past two weeks i have been playing basketball on tuesday nights at the us embassy in bishkek. since i have been here - i have been pestering anyone and everyone i met to get an invite to play at the game (it is one of the few pickup games going in town - the other one being the saturday morning hope game). finally - i think i bothered enough people that they decided to invite me.
ah... america! the embassy grounds are considered "sovereign" american territory. it is almost like being home again. if only home was a unobtrusive, heavily fortified basketball court surrounded by snow capped mountains and soviet high rise apartments.
the guys (all of whom work at the embassy) are a good group and it has been fun getting some runs in and making new friends.
