I'm leaving for Kazakhstan this afternoon at 1:24, with one stop in Washington, DC, and another in Frankfurt, Germany. I won't arrive in Almaty until Sunday night at 11:55 (Kazakh time)--a total travel time of nearly 24 hours and a distance of over 7000 miles!
Bon Voyage and Safe Travels Mr. Dent.

Hello from Mrs. Gibson's first block class! We hope your trip went well. When you have time to figure it out, we are wondering if we can Skype you in a class sometime.
ReplyDeleteTalk to you later!
Yes, I would love to Skype with you. How about Wednesday at 10:15?
DeleteYes! We will be on and ready to skype with you all Wednesday @ 10:15. Just let us know what info we need to get connected with you!
DeleteMr. Reilly's first block will be joining us from the library. Mrs. Hill is getting us all set up. You can access us on Skype- we are jouettlibrary (all one word, no caps)! We can't wait!
DeleteAwesome; I will talk to you tomorrow.
DeleteHey from Mrs. Gibson's 3rd block class! How are you doing? We too want to Skype with you or video chat if it is possible! Also, we are anxiously awaiting your report about restaurants in Kazakhstan!
ReplyDeleteI wrote some info about the restaurants I've been to so far . . . very interesting!
DeleteCould you Skype on Wednesday at 12:15?
Would it be possible to move the time back to say 1:00 our time so that we can all be in class and not in lunch? if not, it's ok, but if you can we'd really appreciate it!
DeleteCertainly. I meant to say 12:45, but 1:00 works just as well. I'll see you then!
DeleteYou are amazing! & we thank you!
DeleteHowdy from Mrs. Gibson's 4th block class! We've seen your responses to 1st and 3rd and we want to Skype with you too! We have a few questions: What's the most interesting food you've eaten so far? What's the time difference? Are there any different dances there? What are some interesting names you've heard? Taryn wants to know if you've seen any of the wild horses...Do you miss McDonald's?
ReplyDeleteHi fourth block class! Yes, I would love to skype with you too. There is a ten hour time difference between us, which means that when your class starts it will be after midnight here. I will have to stay up late to talk to you!! Could we talk at ~2:15 tomorrow?
DeleteThe most interesting food I have eaten so far is probably the beef tongue and eggplant salad that I had for dinner tonight. It might sound unusual but it was very tasty!
I know they do have different dances here, but I have not seen any yet. I did see some dancing today though. We were at a huge park in the city center, and there were about a hundred or more local college students who were having a waltz lesson in the park. They were having a lot of fun!
I have not seen any live horses here yet. So far I have only been in Almaty, which is a big city of about 1,500,000 residents. I am going to a smaller town on Thursday and hope to see more of the countryside on the way--I will let you know what I see.
I have to confess that I never eat at McDonald's, or pretty much any other fast food restaurant . . . so no, I don't miss it. Even though they don't have McDonald's here, I have seen some fast food chain restaurants--Hardee's, KFC, and Burger King. It was funny to see a huge picture of Colonel Sanders' face in the middle of Almaty, Kazakhstan!
Yes! Thank you so much for staying up late to talk to us! We will talk to you at ~2:15 our time! Mark also wants to know if you have adjusted to the time change yet!
DeleteTalk to you soon!
That is a long time from home.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a long trip! I hope you're enjoying your stay!
ReplyDeleteDear Mr.Dent,
