May 2012
Hello everyone!
May is undoubtedly one of our busier months
in school. With reports due and assessments to mark, we are under the
proverbial mountain of work. Consequently there is little to report of late
regarding excursions and exciting adventure, but the nature of this country
means that something interesting is always happening, and people are always
visiting. We had two very different visitors this month.
We hosted an Aussie traveller called
Johanna, a lovely girl who was maneuvering her way through Asia on a break from
work. She was great fun to have around, though I didn’t see too much of her. I
had other visitors, you see…
My parents are wonderful, brave people who are
willing to venture out of their comfort zone in order to see me in my element.
They did so – having enormous fun in the process – in Korea, and decided to
come and visit me in Kazakhstan for a week. They saw all of the sights…
…ate lots of the food (as well as trying
Kumis, which didn’t go down so well)…
…basked in the sunshine…
…and had a blast.
They were on holiday so weren’t keen on
waking up early. As a result they were having breakfast whilst many of us were
jogging around the pyramid park in a 10k race. The ‘gold’ medal I won
subsequently melted in the scorching sunshine. Quality manufacturing.
My parents left Kazakhstan in the early
hours of a warm Wednesday morning. It was great to see them and for them to see the latest country I have lived in. I followed them out of the country two hours
later. Why? You’ll find out next time. A school trip with a difference…
Love you all
Matt
