Ochen Priyatna

11 weeks into exchange in Almaty and my blog should have had 11 posts...or at least 5 but wordpress pulled a trick on me and I haven't been able to load my wordpress since about...2 weeks ago?

Something is wrong with wordpress so i gotta jumpship somewhere.

Anyhow, I just arrived safely back in Almaty 4 hours ago and everything that happened for the past week felt so surreal. The warm hospitality I experienced in Shymkent, Turkistan and Sairam was beyond what words can describe....kinda made me miss home a little. That's the extent wow

Pictures are gonna have to wait for abit and unfortunately my SD card reformatted on the first day of my trip and I lost all memories I had of Kazygurt :( From then on, I lost faith in using lenses but instead, used my heart and head to fully soak into the life of the locals - and for that I count the misfortune of my reformatted SD card a blessing in disguise.

Will update about our trips around Almaty and Spring break Surprises soon! Meanwhile here's Kazakhstan's Next Top Babushka's attempt at werking it JFL~ If you haven't seen our trailer, check it out here! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhIgKtSSrts)
