Sunday afternoon off
After working 8a-2p, you do get Sunday afternoon off. Went for a walk out to one of the treatment ponds to see if any wildlife was about. Did see some ducks, but with the ponds freezing over, there weren't many out there. In any case, it was good to ...
Weekend work
... coming to Kazakhstan where you get to work on the weekends. By the way, it was actually colder with more snow in Houston than in Kazakhstan. But that is about to change. Hopefully, I will be able to get some snow pictures before I leave. I'm sure I will ...
sempre ad Atyrau
... che mi hanno detto che se ci tengo alla salute devo bere, cucinare e lavarmi i denti solo con l'acqua minerale. insomma pare che Atyrau sia una specie di citta' pattumiera. anzi, senza "pare". lo e' punto e basta. E i soldi del petrolio, direte ...
Back to Atyrau & the transit hotel

Cucina kazaka
cari amici, se qualcuno di voi si fosse mai chiesto: "perche' in giro per il mondo non si trova ristoranti kazaki?" mentre abbondano invece i ristoranti cinesi, italiani, francesi, thai, indiani, messicani, etc.... ebbene la risposta la troverete nelle ...
Whoopee! - Only a half day of work
Just love it. At least today is only a 1/2 day of work. Don't worry, I'm getting my weekend time back after I return home. Tonight it was the same routine. Emptying out my computer bag for the 5kg limit on the flight tomorrow. Dropped off my luggage so ...
Atyrau, Kazakhstan
Well it took forever to get through the visa line and immigration. The thing I don't understand is having to take a bus about 100 feet from the plane to the ...
Walking between Europe & Asia, and back again
Went to dinner with a couple of co-workers at the Italian restaurant, which is also a Japanese restaurant and a TGIFridays. It is located near the bridge between Europe and Asia, so we had to let the newbie walk across. The ice fisherman are still out ...

Capodanno musulmano ad Atyrau.
oggi e' festa nazionale in Kazakhstan. E' il capodanno musulmano e hanno fatto le cose come si deve. La piazza centrale e' piena di chioschi di shiashlik (spiedini di carne), suonatori di mandolino e iurta piene di ogni ben di Dio (soprattutto ...
Fango, fango e...indovinate un po? ancora fango
... cambiamento del clima questa non sara' di certo la piu' drammatica ma e' un po' una rottura di balle. comunque volevo chiedure dicendo che in Kazakhstan ci sono anche dei bei posti e delle belle citta', ma essendo io il prediletto mi e' toccata ...
It finally stopped raining!
... some. However, the guy next to me spilt water all over my leg. Can't get a break. Did get some photos of the city of Atyrau on the way in to the airport. And thankfully, I got my visa in Aberdeen so I flew through customs/immigration and beat most of the ...

Just another day of fun
After the long day today, I decided to get in a little walk around the camp. I also figured I would take a couple pictures of the room, since people usually ask about it. ...
Finish Work - Yippee!
Wrapped up my work real early. Some pics of the mosque from a different angle. Went to pick up my bag, I didn't make it over there last night. Glad I left another bag at the hotel. Went over to one of the 'malls' just to get outside for a bit. Of course, ...
Arrival at Shanyrak Village
Everyone has moved from the TCOVillage to Shanyrak Village, so I get to stay in the newer accomodations. One of the benefits - each room has its own bathroom. No more sharing! Actually flew over the SV - you can see the common area, where they have the ...
Natale kazako
buon Natale a tutti dalla ridente Atyrau. Una delle cittadine piu' radioattive del Kazakhstan, tant'e' vero che non hanno dovuto nemmeno fare fatica a mettere su l'illuminazione e gli addobbi natalizi. Gli alberi e gli arbusti sono gia' fluorescenti e ...

Return to Atyrau
Will it be by train or plane? Clear blue skies at both the origin and destination. So the plane is flying. Woohoo! 45 minutes is much better than 7 hours. Staying one more night at the transit hotel - then over to the Renaissance Hotel since I will ...
