Boris gets his Kazakhstan visa

Another weekend in Bangkok. Time to celebrate, as finally we have been able to organize the visa for Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan for all of us. Boris was the last one having to go to the Bangkok Gems Trading Center, were the Kazak embassy is located. And surprisingly it was not a big deal for him to get the visa glued into his passport. Simply walking in, holding up the passport and walking out again did the job. Something I expected to work already two weeks ago, but which turned into a nerve game of waiting, checking, waiting again ... Maybe the consul has had a cup of the Lao coffee I gave him as present in the meantime.

While in Bangkok, we bought another electronnical gadget which we plan to take along on our trip: A mini netbook. Just to keep us busy and alow us to get on the internet on our trip from time to time. It´s lovely purple in color and has a classical thai keyboard set up.

Now Boris and I are sitting in our hotel room, getting another set of visa organized. We are filling out the forms for Kyrgizstan for all of us, as well as the forms for Aserbijan for Simon. These visa should be a bit more easy to organize, as we are going through the visa agent Stanstours. Let´s see...
