To lighten the tone of the previous post, here are a couple of pictures from a research visit to Kazakhstan a few years back - our team was running a couple of workshops in Almaty and the capital, Astana; and a training workshop at the Ministry of Economy in Astana. The first picture shows our group (I'm the one with the fur hat) meeting for lunch in the mountains just south of Almaty, to make plans for our various meetings that week. At least, that's what we told ourselves......
The second picture shows two of our group - Richard and Sergei - in Astana, walking across the frozen river as we went between a couple of our meetings in the city. The temperature then must have been around -15 degrees C., so we kept walking quite rapidly to stay warm. Some of the local vodka and the 'interesting' food also helped to warm us up after our various meetings.
