Toto, I have the feeling we’re not in Kasakhstan anymore

Toto, I have the feeling we’re not in Kasakhstan anymore

For health-related reasons, I decided to end my stay in Central Asia early. I am now back in Norway and will probably complete my term here. I miss Kazakhstan, and hope I will be able to go back sometime soon. In the meantime, I will continue updating this blog, both with more Kazakhstan-related posts and other stuff. If you want to know more about the life as an exchange student in Almaty, you can also check out the blog of my fellow student Faithieee from Singapore. Her blog is more personal than mine.

Statement of purpose

Welcome! This is my blog. I made it because I am going to Almaty, Kazakhstan, to study. I expect to observe many new things and think many new thoughts in the months to come, and I want to write them down somewhere.

My blog will be personal, but not private. It will most likely be bilingual, written partly in Norwegian and partly in English. There will probably be politics in here, and refrenses to geekish things, and scattered observations about life, the universe, and everything. The target audience is myself, but if you take interest in what is going on in my part of the biosphere, you might find something of interest. If you are my friend on Facebook or Twitter, you will get some sort of notice whenever I post anything here.

Since you are reading this, you probably know me already. My name is Even. I am a freelance political journalist, Msc student of political economy, role-player, father of two, ladybug riding a leaf in the wind. This fall, I am studying at the Kazakhstan Institute of Management, Economics, and Strategic Research in Almaty.
