Went Out Saturday Night

Category: Eating Out,Friends,Kazakhstan,Personal — ChrisM @ 11:53 am

And met up with a couple of fellow bloggers. You can check their sites by clicking on the KZBlog and The Life of 2ME links on the right, under Kazakh blogs. Had a good time, and a little to eat. I appear to have drunk a bit too much, as the moment we stepped outside of the cafe (Shymkent, around City Market and Cinema City area), my memory is a little too hazy to recall the journey home etc. Tom has already posted on our meeting (direct link here), and I don’t have much to add to his portrayal. Next time, I’ll not have an evening meal at home, and eat a little bit more whilst out, to soak up the excess spirit :>

    Of course. Always happy to meet new people. Hope to bring some of our Kazakh/Russian friends along as well, to further the cause of international understanding and communication. Plus more people getting drunk together is always better ;>
    I remember seeing your name in the comments section of KZBlog, but I can\’t find a link to your blog. Searching on google returns way too many references to oil fields and astana development plans to find you. Care to share the URL? I\’ll go and check the the other kazakh blogs in the mean time, see if I can find your site :>

    On a completely separate note, am I the only person who still uses the acronym URL (universal resource locator?), I seem to see URI now more often than not…

    [edit]
    Think I have found you on-line (page 44/45 of some minutes, in PDF format, and English, thank god 😉 ) , at least in your work hat (assuming you don\’t share an address with family member), but not sure how anonymous you wish your personal blog to be, so will hold off posting anything 🙂
    [edit2]
    remembered you were on Tom\’s blog as well, but no site there either.
    Did I misunderstand your comment, are you looking to start blogging, rather than have already begun?
