So we got up early to try and find a new place to stay, and lets just say that a hotel for 120$ US here is junk. Really it's a single bed in a room that just fits a single bed, no fan, no airconditioning, and a worn carpet. Did I mention it was for 120$ US?? We ended up renting an apartment near a large bazzar for 5000 tenge or just over 45$ CAN per night. It has air conditioning and a fully functioning kitchen, how we are going to make and eat a good portion of our meals. We haven't had time to really see any sights yet, and will save those till tomorrow, as today was already too long and tiring. We're off to watch the new Steve Carrall movie in Russian after this, just to relax and maybe have a little nap. There was a story with a taxi that occured today, but you'll have to ask us about that one when we get home. Have to have some new stories to tell right? Oyh.. this country is nutso.. but we ate a pretty cool resaturant for lunch that was cheaper then what we ate last night for dinner so thats a bonus.. it was also decorated in old soviet union stuff and at the end of your meal they give you cool old soviet union postcards.. pretty fun!! Heres to hoping that Eastern Europe will be slightly cheaper... we have ran out of granola bars from canada to eat for food.
