Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan |

I'm no fan of the original hierarchical take on world that designated the political west the "first world" and the Soviet Union and its sphere of influence the "second world", but I felt like I was in a different world, one that developed with a different set of guiding principles. I quickly realized, though, that those different principles were merely different methods of achieving the same wants and needs as the society that I was raised in.
