4 weeks later. What to say? Ive seen an AK-47, a cooked sheep head, experienced an election (way to go Nazarbayev with 95% of the vote) and remembered 1 or 2 Kazakh words.
Still tired, still trying to take in as much as possible. We went to a music concert today at a music college that Peace Corps has ties with. Listened to some great Kazakh and Russian and Uigur music, ate some food, drank some fermented camels milk and watched a beauty contest, walked across Almaty, got asked to leave a café and ate mutton in soup for dinner- the same dinner I have had FOR FOUR WEEKS.
It was 22degrees today, so I am sunburnt of course.
I really should write stuff down, as I clearly have forgotten much of what has happened since I last wrote anything. Oh well, something to work on.
