little girl in the big city
so i'm currently sitting here in almaty and after half a year in the village, this place is freaking awesome! i highly recommend it, if you're ever around.
i came here for some training, which actually was pretty informative and got me super pumped to go and be a teacher again (i hope it lasts). my visa was extended and now i can legally stay in the country for my whole term of service, sweeeeet.
training was super fun and it was great to see all of my fellow kaz quits again. . . those that were left (lol!!). i have a lot of great stories from training, but i won't put them up on the ole blog -- some of the people involved in these stories may want to run for office some day ;). i can tell you, however, that i saw charlie and the chocolate factory -- in english. hoot, hoot. good flick.
so anyways, i'm just hanging around the office until me and ann go to catch our 10 hour train back to the village. that's right. we're taking an overnight bus back home. it's cheaper than the train and i've heard it's not "that" bad. but, we'll see. it's an adventure and we've so done the train.
so, in sum: training was awesome. i love my fellow kaz quits. i am super inspired to be the kick-assing-est volunteer ever. buses are smaller than trains. i am a little sleepy. i am one quarter of the way through service. yay.

Two years ago we were going down the highway and screaming "21" into the phone at Giffin. It was a freakin' blast.
Two years from now we'll be crying "25" and talking about how we're almost 30. Hahaha
Te quiero y te echo de menos mas y mas cada dia. Hasta nos vemos otra vez...
Good to hear that you're safe and well
