Nope, that's not mine, mine looks way different. And yes, I have a soft spot for making tea and coffee anytime, anywhere, so I do have everything I need to be fully autonomous when it comes to making drinks or food.
Anyway, this beauty I encountered on my way up an valley in Kyrgyzstan to a place called Altyn-Arashan.
We - I and two French guys I've met in Karakol below - were making our way up to these famous hot springs, which eventually ended up a strenuous 10 hours hike further, on the next day. After a night of drinking vodka in a homestay among mountains that was really hard to pull off. I barely made it at all, on the hardest final part I almost faded a dozen times. But the mountain lake Ala Kul in the end was worth it.
I don't drink much, but my French companions and some Swiss girls wanted to try drinking vodka the Russian way. So I taught them, getting wasted myself but I wasn't as wasted as the rest. On the way down I experienced a moment of pure happiness, caused by the victory over my own weakness. Those moment are so, so hard to come by these days...
