Life in Kazakhstan

Well life in Kazakhstan is interesting. We arrived in Shymkent on Sunday at noon. Our flight was delayed by two hours in Almaty for deicing of the plane. This was our last flight and was by far the hardest, we were so close yet still so far from Shymkent. Our coordinator greated us at the airport with her husband who is our translator and brought us to our aparment.

All the apartment her appear to be built during soviet times all very simple concret structures. Our appartment is insteresting. The bathroom is small with only a shower and the washing machine in the bathroom. The toliet is in a seperate room. The kitchen is simple but will work for our needs. Mike even managed to light the gas stove.

Sleep well we are not turned around yet, and last night we had dinner at 2am. I am sure our sleep patterns will around quickly.

I will share more information about life in Kazakhstan later, I promise. Driving is ..lets just say it is interesting.

In the apartment we only have dial up internet , to get a faster connection we have to go to a turkish cafe. If you send us emails and it takes me a day or two to reply this would be the reason.

Please know we are safe and things are good in Kazakhstan!
