Well, I am now reviving the old blog. Yep, I am on my way back to the (former) USSR. I have found work at an American-style bistro type place in Karaganda, Kazakstan. A good budy of mine and I will be leaving no later than the second week of September if all the paper work comes in on time for our visas. I will fill in all the details later about my job, the area where I will be living, and some thoughts about what I expect to see and experience over there. So, it seems I will once again play a part on the stage of life in the wild-wild east. I am so excited, I don't know what more to say.
