School Days

... so much, especially in an extremely bureaucratic, document-driven society. Registration at KIMEP tries to mimic the registration process for courses in the US. We register online, once we have spoken with our advisor about our academic plan for the semester and for our full course of studies. Our advisor clears us for registration. We also have to have paid (in cash) at least one-third of our semester’s course fees at the cashier’s office ...

One steppe closer

... cotton farms. It was now that I remembered GCSE geography and, when not colouring in, we had learnt all about the Aral Sea, the cotton, and the general problems caused by the whole thing. Geography lessons in action!

Well, there is not much more to say about today, really. I have successfully (or so it initially appears) put my bike back together, with no screws missing either (from the bike, rather than the author. It is not up to ...

Out and About

... medical clinics are government institutions, they try to use Kazakh, the official language of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as much as possible. I was talking to a member of KISA (KIMEP International Students Association), a Kazakh who is interested in meeting international students, about language in Kazakhstan. KISA members volunteer their time and knowledge of the nation to help internationasl students acclamate to life in Kazakhstan. They help ...

Impressions

... Kazakhs go to the US.” I say, “Why not come here? I am really interested in Kazakhstan.” They are so helpful once they realize why I seem so oblivious. They are so touched that an American is actually showing interest in them. And they are amazed that I, an American, can speak some Russian! I guess many of the Americans they come across expect them to speak English, having no interest in learning any of the local language themselves ...

Amazing, spectactular and beepy!

... and was a proper mix of arabs and russians. We made it to the kazakh border in the morning, where it took us 7 hours to cross. They wanted bribes, presents and a million forms. All in 39c with no shade!

Kazakhstan was a surprise, its a rich country due to oil and they have built alot of great roads. Progress was pretty quick and we made it to the Uzbek border after two days.

Going into Uzbekistan was like stepping back into the third world for a bit. We had endless ...

Nothing new

... Der zweite Job ist Polizist, da ist die Nachfrage hier ungebrochen. Schön am Straßenrand stehen und Leute anhalten, sich irgendwelche Vergehen und ein völlig überzogenes Strafmaß dazu ausdenken. Als dritten Job passt der kleine Junge auf noch kleinere Kinder auf. Mach dies nicht, nein, tu das nicht. Und überhaupt, ignoriert die kleinen Kinder. Das Töchterchen ist noch zu ...

Some little comments

Neulich habe ich zusammen mit ein paar Am**ikan**n dem **sten Pizza Hut Zentralasiens einen Antrittsbesuch abgestattet. Und ich muss sagen: Hut ab! Echt großartig und die Preise sind auch normal. Okay, es gibt kein All-you-can-eat, ab** die Pizza ist echt wie schon and**norts kennen und lieben gel**nt. Und wenn man mit ein** Gruppe von Am**ikan**n da ist kommt man sich mit einem leichten Augenzwink**n fast schon wie in einem westlichen Land vor. Okay, d ...

Third; Servicing

Luckily for us there are Toyota agents all around Asia. But unluckily for us they don't always carry Surf parts and because it has the turbo/ intercooler, the air cleaner for example is apparently different. We found some spares in Xi'an so are well placed now and can get an oil change anywhere ...

Kazakh Wedding

... Trauung mit Musik und patriotischer Rede, gefolgt vom Fotoshooting mit Familie und dann auch Freunden und zu guter Letzt ein kleiner Imbiß im Hinterzimmer, der meiner Ansicht nach nur dazu dient die Hochzeitsgesellschaft durch die Hintertür verabschieden zu können, denn vorne kommen ja die nächsten Paare. Die Stationen sind aber wie beim Zirkeltraining alle besetzt, so dass man ein bisschen was von den anderen Hochzeitsgesellschaften mitbekommt ...

Ski resort

... vorbei zu fahren ohne angehalten zu werden. Irgendwie kommt man sich aber doch so ein bisschen wie beim Spießrutenlaufen vor. Der viele Schnee in der vergangenen Woche hat die Pisten so weit blockiert, dass einige sogar gesperrt wurden. Offensichtlich gibt's noch nicht genug Pistenfahrzeuge (um ehrlich zu sein hab ich nur eins gesehen). Na dann können die Asian Winter Games 2011 ja kommen...
