I am sitting in a cute little cafe drinking a cup of hot coffee trying to stay warm....who would have ever thought I would freeze over here?!?
I have been here for over three months now...and I have yet to write a blog from this side of the ocean! So I decided...today...today is the day I am going to write in my blog!!!
So I have my coffee, good tunes, and many stories running through my head.
There are many things that I love about Kstan. Really they are all the little quirks that make me love this country so much. The roads for one....some times I feel my stomach will switch places with my brain because of all the bumps on the roads. When you are going pretty fast (no real speed limit on the way to the villages) every "little" bump becomes a dramatic one.
My favorite stretch of road is from the city into one of the villages that my friend lives. Somewhere between the bumps and bruises, the cattle running free on the side of the road, a man sitting on a lazy boy in the field watching these cattle, the rolling hills, woah! another big bump, more cattle, wedding parties on the side of the road and another and another and Enrique Inglesias blaring loud through the speakers in the truck.....I realize...I love this place!!! :)
What I love most about this place are the people. Honestly. They are so friendly and loving. (and very good cooks!) I have made many good friends and enjoy spending time with them when I am not teaching.
This is home...for now....and I am enjoying every second of it! :)
