We all went out for a final dinner together. It was in a very fancy part of town. This restaurant was fancy! The beautiful snow capped mountains were in the background. The pictures can't explained how gorgeous those mountains were. Look at all that bread! Yum, Yum! I had chicken and rice. It was the first time I had chicken since I have been here. It was garnished with cucumbers which are extremely popular here. April's dinner came on these knifes that reminded me of Freddy Kruger fingers. The restaurant had some great dancers! I especially liked the guy. He did some what I call typical Russian dancing. He was very good and exciting to watch. He was so fast that it was hard to catch him in action on the camera. It was nice to be all back together. I loved listening to everyone else's experiences.
I am back in Almaty after our 19 hour train ride. The train ride was much better this time. They gave us food to take on the train which was very thoughtful. We got in about 11:00 am and will get on the plane to start our journey back at 1:30 in the morning Sat. I should arrive home in Richmond, Sat at 6:00 pm. I have tons of updating to do on the blog. It was hard keeping up because of no Internet. We all went out for a final dinner together. It was in a very fancy part of town. This restaurant was fancy!

I think that the culture their is very interesting. I wish that we had a good language program like they do.

I Think that we need to step up our education program to get like theirs. They are very advanced and I think that they will be the people to get the high paid jobs and excel in their education. We need to catch up!

In your experience, what was the largest cultural difference between our cultures? Kazakhstan being such a rich producer of oil, was there more vocational education in schools?

Was there a big cultural difference between the United States and Kazakhastan. It looks amazing there!

I noticed that there were many similarities between our school and the schools you visited. I wonder what else did you see that reminded you of things here in America? That looks like an awesome trip! I'm sure the food is better too.
