Day 6

No visit today so no new pictures. We are going to the bazaar at somepoint today. Otherwise, it is really just a day for me to catch up and get organized. I have yet to figure out where the garbage dumpster for my building is so maybe I will go find it today. I was told to go down the alley, past 2 apartment buildings and turn left and then left again! Everything is an adventure here!
I had some really good spaghetti at a restaurant called Mozzerella(yes, eating Italian in Kaz) earlier in the week.
Yesterday, Abby and I went back there, but the power was out. This seems to happen occassionally in the heat of the afternoon. We ended up at the Mall eating pizza. I lost my power twice so far- once because I blew a fuse keeping the AC on high and once when the whole area was out for a few hours. The fuse boxes are out in the hall and kept locked so you have to get the building manager to come and replace the fuse or rather wrap a piece of copper wire around the old fuse! I don't care since it got me my AC back although I do keep it on medium now. The building has so much concrete in it, once you finally get the apartment cooled down, it stays pretty cool(76 or so). I just got a call that it is time for the bazaar so I will write more later!

I think Mozzarella was Ruth's favorite restaurant in Shymkent. I've been there so much I think all the waitstaff know me. :)
