Osh sits aside the Sulayman Mountain. The mountain has been and is a site for pre Muslim and Muslim pilgrimage. It is also Kyrgyzstan's only UNESCO World Heritage site. Sulayman was a Muslim Prophet and the mountain is said to hold his grave. The mountain has wonderful views over Osh, and a giant Kyrgyz flag. There is also a rock at the top that women can crawl through as it is said that this ritual will help fertility. There is also an interesting museum in a cave that has images of historic and pre historic life in the region.
As night falls I can hear music coming from the stadium again. I decide to have a look. This time it is the main performance. Things are going well! All participants are dancing on cue. Flags are being waved and carried around the stadium. There is a stage at the front that has singers miming to pop acts. My favourite part of the show is the release of thousands of balloons with small lights inside. It is very beautiful to watch the climb the night sky and slowly drift away at high altitude along the prevailing wind.
