Thanks for the link. I love free stuff. I like to check out Slick-deals.net because they have free stuff on there sometimes.
I love using freecycle to get rid of things, and I got a VCR from there too. There are some wacky listings though!

Kazakhstan??? Well, why not? I've got to get outside of my comfort zone. If I stick around here long enough I may even be eating items from the "Unusual Foods" thread. :eek:
Now, I don't want to be an ingrate and offend my hosts, but Mr. Ed's not happening. Not on my plate, anyway. LOL
How do you occupy yourself while there? I hope you'll share some of your experiences with us.

Oh, I have LOTS of stories that I will be happy to share with all of you. I'll save the funny Polar Bear Club stories when I have pictures to send along with them----you won't believe some of the things they do around here. It's really a nice country with a lot of very young enthusiastic people. The working women are an amazing group unto themselves and the literacy rate is in the 90th percentile. Amazing for a country that is considered 3rd world by some of our standards. Many children are being taught Kazakh, Russian, AND English. It's a country that the oil industry is keeping an eye on as they have huge reserves and a very stable government. Not the case in the Mideast, I'm afraid.
