Carpet country

Bishkek -  The carpets are beautiful. Made of natural materials and in bright colours. Like the people in Kyrgyzstan, who seem to be so soft and welcoming. But then again, it can quickly become an explosive situation here. Some say the clan structure is to blame. People only respect authority from their own clan members. Last week two members of different clans got caught in a bloody physical fight in parliament. It was broadcast live on TV.
