Another day getting ready for another day.. interesting pattern. I woke at 9 AM after a great night sleep. It had snwed all night iving everything a black ad white look outside .. (thi sIS a color picture 🙂

 

 

 

got down for breakfst just before our meeting started.. lots of great smoked fish and cheese.. and more sushi !

Still getting my mind around reading Cryllic.. I actually can transliterate it pretty well.. now if I only could remember more Russian.. This is the Kazakhstani edition of ‘Pravda’

Everything is pretty Christmasy here.. which is interesting since it’s about 60 percent Islamic.. .. They do make some great gingerbread houses !

THis one made me pretty homesick.. See why ?

We met and worked until 2:30 then headed over to Almaty University for setup. It’s a beautiful place !

i think this guy was the founder

Lots of folks working hard for tomorrow.. some taking a nap  here

these guys are supporting innovation (:-)

 

 

We left around 5 .. It had snowed all day as well. It’s a very pretty city under all this snow

 

Looks like more snow tomorrow.. and -17C  tonight (that’s about 1 degree Fahrenheit )..

No choclates on the pillow for me.. I found Turkish delight !. yum !

 

 

OK.. gotta go practice my talk.
