a Coopers in Kazakhstan: Oct 26

Oct 26
















It's still difficult to post daily - internet from the apartment doesn't work and the connection from the other apartment is no better than 28.8k - too slow to upload photos. The connection from the Eurasian Institute is also too slow, so I am back to paying for connecting at the Chagala.

Pic #1: Geoff and Susan Brown with Tanzie; in the middle are Craig and Lillian Burnett with McKenna, and on the right are all of us Coopers including Zarina.

















Pic #2 is one of the beautiful Christian Churches

Pic #3 is Alex introducing Pandie to Zarina. She just wants to suck on its nose.






























Pic #4 is Alex catching up on his reading - the book is called :The Day My Butt Went Psycho.: Supopsedly it's based on a true story (it's a best seller. go look it up for yourself).

Pic #5 is the entrance to our apartment building.


Although it's raining, this is a beautiful country - there is a distinct juxtiposition of the traditional with the modern. The people are trying to retain their culture and traditions. Most people walk. And of course we get lots of stares - some people are waiting for the internet, so I will sign off and finish this entry later.
