LEAVING ON A JET PLANE...

With any luck I should be off to Kazakhstan in a couple of weeks for business. I shall be staying here.

On my previous trip to Almaty, I stayed about 25 hours. It snowed the whole time and, apart from the inside of a conference room, the only bit of excitement was a bizarre taxi ride across the city in totally the wrong direction. Our host very helpfully provided a map for where we were to have dinner. Of course, not only was it in English, but also in Roman script rather than Cyrillic. So the taxi driver had no idea where he was taking us.

On return to the UK my plane was delayed on take off when the de-icing equipment broke down. I presume that won't be a problem in August.
