Take-off

... research I did. I had even less respect for Kazakh health practice, particularly once I finished making my rounds of the city polyclinics and hospitals at the beginning of the school year to get all of my forms signed for school. I used to say, “Russians go to Germany for medical treatment if they can afford it; Kazakhs go to Russia.” Now, however, I have great respect for Kazakh medicine. The doctor knew exactly what she was doing, what she did was ...

The end of our Silk Road journey

... But then, this is how China has been, ever since the time of the First Emperor. The population has always had to live under immense political and social control. In so many ways this has been the strength of China, and allowed so much progress in recent years. But the price is high.<br><br>Almaty was just a days stopover so that we could catch our International flights on the 27th.<br><br>We spent the day exploring - so ...

Freak Show

... LARPer gesehen. Nicht das es den Großteil der Leserschaft interessieren würde; ich find's trotzdem gerade erwähnenswert.<br><br>Der Marktbesuch ist immer wieder eine Freude, irgendwie scheine ich hier als größerer Europäer eine kleine Attraktion zu sein. Nicht selten kommt es vor, dass Marktverkäufer einen Handyschnappschuß von mir machen oder sich gleich neben mich stellen und sich von einem Freund mit mir zusammen ablichten lassen ...

Makes me sick

... geschafft hat: Mich einen Tag in den Fieberschlaf zu schicken. Auch wenn's keinen Leser interessiert, im Fieber habe ich regelmäßig einen Heißhunger auf Pizza und Cola. Weder dass ich das eine noch das andere würde ich während des Unwohlseins essen wollen, aber ich habe die ganze Zeit diese appetitfördernde Bild vor Augen und nehme mir fest vor, sobald ich wieder gesund bin zu Pizza Hut zu rennen. Aber bis dahin ist dann der Heißhunger meistens verflogen...<br>

Out and About

... Once we had climbed the 198 steps to get to the top of the tourist area in the Medeu valley, we took a breather, took some breathtaking pictures, pet an eagle (the animal of Kazakhstan), and put down our bags. We gathered in a circle for a bonding exercise. Nariman had us go around in the circle, each stating our favorite food. We had to try to remember what each person said, then we played a game, trying to call out someone's favorite food before ...

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

Crazy Horses

Not a great deal to say about today, it was very much a driving day. We managed just over 600km on our way to Almaty. The only event of note was being pulled over for the obligatory fine which Dave managed to get the cop to downgrade from his ambitious figure of $50 to $5 and a few tenge.<br><br>Found a ...

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 ...

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. We ...
