Begemot is our local fast food. Homegrown, Bishkek fast food. Begemot means Hippo in Russian.
At first I was really into it. You can get a Gamburger ($1) or a Step Roll ($1.25) or Freets ($1). Gamburger is - you guessed it! - a hamburger and a Step Roll is sort of a wrap/shwarma thing. And freets are fries. Well, most of us ex-pats here have at least one Begemot food poisioning under our belts and it's been out of my rotation since September.
Shame, this location is right next to the amusement park and a five minute walk from both home and school.

Two notes
1. Look at that bald dude. He needs to pull it together.
2. I have no idea what's going on behind Begemot on that wall. I think the building is The National Drama Theater.
