Losing our only American Celeb

Kyrgyzstan is losing its only American Celeb, Ivory Pomegranate.  She played some role in our deciding to move here, both due to the economically misleading House hunter International episode she was in and due to her kind, detailed response to questions my wife had about childbirth and child-rearing in Bishkek.  She's a good photographer/writer, so I encourage you to check out her blog http://ivorypomegranate.com/
And I suppose this means that I am writing the only English language blog in Bishkek now?  Can that be right?
Update - it's not.  There is a French national that writes a blog here - it's also interesting you should read it too!
Update to the 1st Update!  Colleagues of mine are keeping a blog as well, and their's is actually well-written and informative - http://stickingtotheplan.com/
