I'm Azamat. I grew up in Kyzyl-Adyr, made my aunt's history blog look nice in 2007 (brown and cream, I was 15, I'm sorry), worked in Bishkek for a few years, and since 2022 I'm back in Talas.
This is a digital garden: notes that start small (seedlings), grow (budding) and sometimes become solid (evergreen). They link to each other. Wander.
