hey carl,

my name is andrew i am a current k-18 in training. your blog is fun to read and has given great info about kyrgyzstan. i was wondering how did you set up the cluster map widget on your blog. its really neat and id like to add it to mine. can you also explain to me how you set up the format – dividing it into information, books, projects, etc. its really well organized and id like to format mine in a similar manner.

hope to hear from you sooner or later.

andrew

Glad you like the pictures, and Jibek Jolu! How funny just as I came out here, one of the only Kyrgyz restaurants in the country opened up so close to home.

And purchasing a shyrdak is very possible! shoot me an email and we’ll talk details!

Hi Carl!!! These are beautiful!! Is there any way to purchase one? I went with your parents and had a wonderful Kyrgyz dinner last Saturday! The food was delicious and we met a very cute young lady from Kyrgystan… It was fun and we thought of you the whole night! Thank you for all your dedicated communication. This stuff is fascinating!

Carl, the photos are beautiful but I’m having a difficult time with perspective. If you added dimensions, or put another object in the photo–like a pair of slippers on the edge of the carpet–I could understand better.
