Doshirak and Politics on the Night Train	2023-09-02 15:47	entry	train	true	photo-1.jpg	43.2220	76.8512	Almaty	Kazakhstan	25	sunny

Last night I took a 15 hour train ride from Astana to Almaty. A modern train with a bar and self prepared Doshirak noodles. In very broken Russian I discussed politics and history with my roommate Tas, an oilplant operator going to visit his son during his holidays. In the bar I met Daryn, who showed me the magic trick of "antipolizei", a breathmint that will make your alcohol breath smell vanish.
