    The best part of that picture is the kangaroo. Or is it a wallaby?

    Small business in Kyrgyz village with little infrastructure offers baths to locals for a dollar

    By Katie Cannon, Senior Multimedia Editor

    What a shame there isn't something other than tires to burn in this area, but it's great that the people in the community have warm baths available to them.

    A little Kyrgyz girl combs her hair while standing in a plastic basin after bathing in the village of Dordoi, some 20 km from the capital of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Nov. 28. Local resident Arstan-Baike keeps this bath as a small family business, offering local residents a bath for one dollar per person. The village located near the biggest retail market in Central Asia lacks infrastructure and social facilities like schools, hospitals and baths. Arstan-Baike stokes his stove with used tires because of the wood shortage in the area.

    The genius of some is amazing. Love the little girl. She is so beautiful standing in the tub combing her hair. She could be any little girl anywhere on the planet. Thanks for these photos.
