Another week, another entry

... den Augen blinken sehen. Die Fragen, die dann gestellt wurden, haben dann aber doch positiv überrascht.<br><br>Ansonsten habe ich versucht die Arbeit der nächsten zwei Wochen in ein paar Tagen vorzuarbeiten. Was mir nicht ganz geglückt ist. So werde ich wohl mit schlechtem Gewissen und VPN die nächsten Wochen zubringen.<br><br>P.S. Nicht Vietnamese People's Navy sondern Virtual Private Network.<br>

Rainy day

... to test it out. Ah well, something to do tomorrow.<br><br>There is the most torrential downpour for hours this afternoon flooding roads and disrupting the traffic but, fear not, my artist policeman is on duty and seeing to the smooth flow of his charges.<br><br>Assel has given me a cd she burned of Kazakh music but I'll have to wait until I get home before playing it.<br><br>I've become a regular at a cafe about ten minutes away from the hotel. It's not in ...

Constitution Day

<br><br>It may well have been Constitution Day for Kazakhs but my priority is showering, washing, showering, catching up on emails, showering, writing the diary, showering and making the most of my unaccustomed luxury. The hotel is a modern comfortable somewhat soulless. I share the ...

Who will rescue the rescuers?

... asks me a question. It takes a long time before the penny drops. Do I have a pump? I get the small compressor from the pannier. <br><br>"No, no, a pump." Says Vladimir making furious pumping motions.<br><br>With infuriating superiority I said "Okay, okay, calm down, I know what you want."<br><br>They both fall about laughing.<br><br>Tyre pumped, fanbelt working Serge drives us through rain, mud, minor country roads and six laned carriageways and we ...

... and 4 lanes in places, but it does make it hard to slow down when they have a 40k limit on a dual carriageway. Yes, we got 'pinged' and we are now looking forward to the border to see how good they are at collecting the fine. It was a fair cop this time although we were only doing what all the locals do. The one in China was less than a fair cop. So we had our usual lunch stop en-route, a little off road to watch a couple of very Soviet trains ...

Boys' hassle

Um ein paar Dinge bezüglich der Neuorganisierung unserer Gesellschaft zu besprechen ging's noch mal einen Tag nach Astana. Die schwierigsten Entscheidungen werden offensichtlich auf den Gebieten fallen, von denen man es nicht unbedingt erwartet hätte. Umsatz, Kostenverteilung, Gewinn, über das alles wurde nicht so lange diskutiert wie über: - Die Jobbezeichnungen auf den Visitenkarten. - Die Business Class ...

God Almaty

... and shoving big plastic bags full of.....um, goods...into the top luggage racks with their feet. I had to grab my shoes before they were squished under 500 pounds of stuffed animals, mannequin parts, or socks and t-shirts. Once my heart stopped pounding and I no longer thought that the train was under attack, I slept soundly as we clattered through the snowy night. There is a major difference between riding a train in Kazakhstan and riding one in China. In China, every ...
