	Good thing noone got killed, fires are dangerous. I have a question though. Are there many hostels in Kyzyl? What is the name of this one?

	It depends on what you mean by "hostel"? In this article this word seems to be misused. This is not a student hostel as you might have understood it. This is a dormitory for factory workers that became a municipal one. People live there with their families in quite poor conditions. Often these buildings are badly heated and people use self-made electric heaters and that usually leads to fire. As to student hostels that are mentioned (if I understand your quiestion right) like ones in ISIC booklets, as far as I know, there is no one in Kyzyl. Someone might correct me if there is. But if you are going to go to Tuva and are looking for an affordable place to stay, I should note that Tuvans are very hospitable people so I think it wouldn't make you a problem to find a family to stay in.
