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.
