Signs and language

I'm really enjoying the challenge of deciphering the 'code'. Sometimes it seems that way with some of their alphabet looking and sounding just like ours, and others looking like ours but not sounding like ours. And some of their letters we just don't have. It's a game for me.


Internet

  
Restaurant





Buffet
 Not sure what is says under Buffet, but whatever it says its going to cost 120c (Kyrgyzstanian Som) and that's about $2.40. It's pretty likely that will be the cost of a main meal, perhaps an 'all-you-can-eat' one.
 

Stop



Telephone


 Depositer and depositi

This ad seems to be for putting down a 16% deposit for a block in a new housing estate - little houses pictured bottom right of billboard.


 Jam


Toilet

Its pretty easy to find a toilet when you need one here, but one can never be sure just what it will be like. Some are 'western' style, some are squat style. They vary in cleanliness and comfort, but they all meet the need.


Tourism


Fast Food
