    I visited Osh Bazaar on my visit to Bishkek. It is a very interesting place and has a maze-like character to it. I was told by local friends to be on my guard because there is some theft that goes on in the Bazaar. I found the merchants to be pleasant and polite and I was able to buy a few items for good prices. If you are looking for some of the wonderful local honey or bread or other local items, they can be found here.

    As a note, not all of the merchants spoke English. Of course I would not expect them to, but if you are traveling from the West and don't speak Kyrgyz or Russian do not expect everyone to speak English or other Western European languages.

    We were curious to see what it's all about, so we took a yandex there (quite a bit away from city center). We needed some comfy pairs of shorts and found them. Prices were very affordable, staff eager to sell but not overbearing.
    You just need to pay attention to your wallet, as everywhere, and also get out of the way as there are people with carts all over the place. It is a bit chaotic, but if you need something, you will probably find it there.

    I was looking to buy some film cameras in Bishkek and the best place to go is the Soviet Bazaar on Sunday. Make sure to get there early and say for a few hours. People are friendly and its a great place to find a deal on Soviet stuff. I got a few roles of old film and next time I will buy a soviet camera. It's worth the trip for sure!

    The Soviet Bazaar on Sunday from 7 am to 11 am Orto-Sai Bazaar on the south side of Bishkek
