So it turns out I have ringworm on my leg :) And before you get TOO grossed out, it's not a worm, it's a fungus. Anyways. I've had this circle on my leg since Kazakhstan in January, and I just thought it was irritation from wearing the same jeans for 2 week... (haha)
But it never went away, and the circle got bigger. It started to really look like giant bite marks on me, which of course it wasn't! So finally I googled treatments, and then wikipediaed the names of the creams in Russian, and went to a pharmacy, found them in Russian, and it seems to be working! So Kyrgyz pharmacies can be useful after all :)
There was something else random and not interesting that I was going to post also, but I can't remember... maybe I'll remember tomorrow!

Wow, I just stumbled upon your blog and I kept on reading your stuff for like a half an hour! I find it extremely interesting as a future English/ French teacher who's currently doing a trainee period in another culture as well. Can I ask you, thou, are you originally from where? The States? The piggy looks cute, by the way :)
