Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Kyrgyzstan accepting of differences?

Answer this Question

When we asked people about diversity in Kyrgyzstan and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"There is a fair amount of diversity, though not that many expats for a capital. No real ethnic areas. It isn't hard to meet people if you want, though it's hard to cast a wide net if you don't know Russian, and Kyrgyz are annoyed if you know none of theirs. The markets are a major diversion, especially the big Osj bazaar toward the west," said a member in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

"Kyrgyzstan is a culturally diverse country, with over 80 ethnic groups living within its borders. Kyrgyzstan is home to a variety of religions, languages, and cultures, and people from different backgrounds often live side by side in harmony. Kyrgyzstan is generally accepting of differences, and people of different backgrounds are often welcomed and respected," remarked another expat who made the move to Kyrgyzstan.
