Leaving Kazakhstan

Receiving gifts from the community on our last day in Kazakhstan

Hello America, your favorite bloggers here – the three musketeers! Liat, Sarah and Abe :D

This blog post is intended to be completely read in a Russian accent or Borat’s inaccurate Kazakhstani accent.

We are in the Ukrainian airport on a stop-over on our way back to the glorious US and A. This trip has been very nice and we are excited to head back to the motherland. The airport has the cleanest bathroom we’ve used in 10 days! Hooray!

Leaving K-Stan is bittersweet. Leaving our new friends from NYU – bitter. Real showers – sweet. Leaving Kazakhstani friends – bitter. Eating American food – sweet! Overall, we will not miss Kazakhstan – NOT. (That is a Borat reference – see why this needs to be read in a Borat Kazakhstani accent??)

Well, by the time the four people who read this blog get to see this post, we will be back in the US and A. I’m sure by then we will have kissed our beds (and slept a lot), reveled in several showers, and gained 10 pounds. And while I’m sure you’ll be so happy to see us all, we will still be missing our friends. So Facebook, Shabbas meal parties, reunions, and TV-watching parties will become a new part of our “academic” life. Aren’t you glad you pay $50,000 for tuition a year?! :D Thanks Mom and Dad!

Okay, well that’s all for now!

Sincerely,

– and with all our love [pause for three seconds…] NOT,
