Elections

As I'm sure most of you can assume, I am not the most thrilled about the election results recently. But, being in another country, I know they results do not directly affect me. And this blog post will be brief and will not be regard my concerns for the US, but instead, I think it's important to reflect on the rights and freedoms we have in America.

In Kyrgyzstan (the most democratic country in Central Asia) voting and elections are a right. It's incredibly important to the citizens here to have their political voice and accessibility to political movements. This might be the reason revolutions/protests happen so frequently. However, there is still a great deal of corruption and bribing in this country, which doesn't occur in the States. No matter your political views, we should all be appreciative and aware of our privileges. American may have its faults, but we should still be mindful of our liberties.

That's my two cents, I really have little to say in this blog. Life is about the same. Here are some pictures to prove it :)

My family has a horse (it has been in the mountains all summer) and we are in love!
