most of jobs are paid low but if you have connections you get better paid jobs.
If you get to work as a politician, most likely you will get bribes and will get reach.
Plus: good cheap food; good quality produce; people are most of the time friendly; taxi is extremely cheap; endless places to visit as a tourist
Minuses: quality of air; safety on roads; salaries; overall level of intelligence (people don't have political/economical knowledge/interest as they are mostly focused to satisfy basic needs).
I was raised in bishkek but lived in 4 different countries (USA, Europe, South Korea) and traveled across 40 countries and can provide this POV from my personal experience
