Kristina, now 32 years old, studied Chinese in China and worked in a Samsung smartwatch factory in South Korea to save money to start her own business before returning to Kyrgyzstan. At the end of 2023, she and a business partner bought an Asian-style café. The premises are located on the 3rd floor of a large supermarket in the city center. Having never been in the business world herself, Kristina learns a lot from her business partner Oleg (the husband of Kristina's cousin). He has helped his parents in the café since he was a child and is now Kristina's advisor and assistant for the basic processes. The café eventually became a restaurant serving Korean cuisine.
