The end of our Silk Road journey

It was hard to tear ourselves from Heaven Lake. This was also our last day in China, and we went straight to the airport for the two hour flight to Almaty, Kazakhstan.

During our time in Xinjiang Auonomous region, we have had no contact with the outside world. The government have blocked emails, text messages and international phone calls.

The Uighurs have little hope against a goverment that is so all powerful. But then, this is how China has been, ever since the time of the Fi...

A little bit of background

Kazakhstan, the 9th largest country in the world and the largest land-locked country, is a place of great diversity – of religion, ethnicity, and land type. It is extraordinarily rich in natural resources, particularly in oil, minerals, metals, and arable land suitable for producing wheat. Thus, Kazakhstan is primarily an exporter of raw materials, just as are the other four Central Asian States, Kyrgyzstan, which is poor in all natural resources ...

Short visit to Almaty

... in den Wänden passen. Wie nicht anders zu erwarten gibt es weder politisch noch wirtschaftliche größere Veränderungen, die meisten Baustellen stehen immer noch still, ein paar Straßen wurden ausgebessert andere halt nicht.<br><br>Wenn hier eh alles beim Alten geblieben ist, dann kann ich mich eigentlich auch in den Urlaub verabschieden; morgen geht's (wenn alles glatt läuft) für zwei Wochen nach Indien.

One steppe closer

... of the boot of a taxi. This seems to be a regular feature of any trip I make with taxis and my bike. So far, my respective bicycles from trips have survived the Boston freeway in the USA, and the motorway in Rome. I can now add Almaty to the list. <br><br>As I write this, I am really unsure of the time (it is around 7pm, I checked), although my body seems to have had little effect of any jet-lag.

Impressions

... I had about what to expect once I arrived. I went to the Admissions Office to confirm my acceptance to KIMEP. I went to the registrar&#8217;s office to find out what classes I need to take for my Master&#8217;s in International Relations (MIR) program. Where else did I go? Don&#8217;t remember. I ran all over campus. I also got to know the immediate region surrounding KIMEP. I had so much fun going out to lunch with my Host Counselor, Ainash, a former ...

Finally arrived in Almaty, Kazachstan

... and up to the Touristy pass on 3900 meters, still covered with snow. On the way up, we had more than one moment where we wondered why we are doing that... but the challenge as well as the wonderful views helped us to forget the "pain". And being on top was a great feeling at the end.... After another night, we had another long hiking day before coming back to Almaty. It was time for the night life again...<br><br>

Some observations

... jedem Unternehmen und auch bei uns einen Compliance Code gibt, an den sich streng gehalten wird, ist hingegen den wenigstens Beamten bekannt. Aber auch darauf gibt es kreative Antworten: Könnten wir nicht die Nichte des Polizisten einstellen, dann geht bestimmt einiges ein bisschen schneller? Sie hat auch keine weiteren Qualifikationen außer einen Schulabschluss und ihre Gehaltsvorstellungen sind natürlich völlig überzogen. Ähhhm... ne!<br><br ...

... are capable of some serious off-roading and way more capable than we will need. The main advantage driving wise for us is that it has auto transmission with overdrive ie easy to drive and the 4WD is selectable and not always engaged, so it is significantly more economical than some of its siblings. We are currently achieving 28MPG in all types of ...

Flour? Battle? Agrotech?

... einfach "Taschkentskaya", auch wenn das nirgends dran steht und sie in den letzten 20 Jahren 5 verschiedene Namen hatte (die aber auch niemand so wirklich kennt). Die heutige "Dostyk" heißt bei den meisten Leuten noch "Lenina", usw. Nach einigen Umwegen stand ich aber doch vor "Agrotech". Der Rest (und der Rückweg) ging schnell, ein paar nette Stoffe ausgesucht, Maß nehmen lassen, Details festgelegt. Schon in einer Woche soll der erste Anzug fertig sein, na mal sehen.
