Culture
It is common to shake hands with both men and women. Men often greet each other by leaning forward and touching the side of their head to the side of the other man’s head. However, men and women don’t often touch.
Avoid touching food or people with your left hand, as it is viewed as unclean.
Kyrgyz people tend to be indirect communicators. They may not state their needs directly, so foreigners must learn to read between the lines, so to speak. Sarcasm is not understood.
