what's the deal?
ok, i want to tell you all about the teachers' day celebration we had for the teachers at the school i work at. i want to tell you all about it. but, this being kazakhstan, there is a catch. the keyboard that i have now does not type the letter between "l" and "n". seriously, where do i live? anyways, teachers' day.
for the celebration, the school rented out a big cafe. we ate a ton of food. . . including several tasty salads (containing a generous deal of "nn"ayonaise), there of course was dancing, and obviously, everything that happened was worthy of a vodka toast. (for instance: "ashli, raushan apai just did a dance in front of everyone, let us drink to her dancing." "ashli, ganai ahai just said a funny joke. we will drink to his wit." and on and on) surprisingly though, i did not get drunk at the teachers' party, and i found that i was even able to leave gracefully before the party was over so i could arrive to the other social call i had to do that evening in the city.
there is a new foreigner in the big city, she is fro"nn" los angeles. anywho, her birthday was today and we decided to celebrate last night by dancing til dawn at a chic disco called "nn"axapaja (we think it's pronounced "nn"a - ha - ra - zha) but the letters on the sign are in both cerillic and latin characters. the disco was a blast, although it was quite overpriced, and i think i have gotten old, because i have got all wore out with all this dancing in the past few days.
well, that's all i will post now, this lack of the letter "nn" is really pissing this girl off. so, i''ll write again when i have all of the letters of the alphabet at "nn"y disposal.
love.

Best. Post. Ever. Ashli! We drink your ability to communicate without an important letter!
Nice blog!
from the jungles of ecuador to wherever the heck you be in kazahkstan... besos y abrazos
isn´t the internet great? here i am in the amazon and you in that town i can´t pronounce and we can still know about each other´s lives.
always a pleasure reading your adventures...
let me say now, i have been in ecuador about ten days, and i don´t know how you´ve gone without the united states for a year and a half!!
i am very proud of you!
love,
elizabeth
Man, writing a post without the letter m. I'd like to point out that all the keyboards in Sayram [that I've seen] have the m. However, none of the houses have toilets, so there's that. I hear your town may have a few, so you win.
Greetings from NY. I've been reading your posts and wishing you well. Good luck with your second year.
