Oh the sweet sound of dial up. We do have Internet in our apartment but we'll have to wait another few days for DSL. We are anxious to tell you all the details of our crazy week but we are still sorting through some decisions and feel it's best that we wait. We will hopefully have pictures and news for you by Wednesday!
In non-baby related news, we had our first traditional Russian meal today. I (Kari) played it safe with a soup and salad but it was still out of my comfort zone. James keeps repeating, "What did I just eat?" He ate some sort of beef, stuffed with cheese and tomatoes, with a crust of fat. The meat here is very fatty.
We also went shopping for some cultural Russian and Kazakh gifts. We want to have some special items that our child can keep forever.
Tomorrow is the Kazakh New Year. The city is decorated beautifully and the streets are already full with booths set up for food tasting. We will not be tasting the street food but we will hopefully get to experience the festivities which also include dancing and traditional Kazakh clothing.
We love you!
Fun Kazakh Fact of the Day: Although people here drive on the right side of the road (kind of), the steering wheels can be found on either side of the car. This is mainly because the cars are imported from surrounding countries which all have different conventions.
