Paka Paka!

Gee mom I wanna go, back to Ontario, Gee mom I wanna go hooommmeee...

Paka paka means 'bye-bye' in Russian... yes, that's right, we're coming home! So, bye-bye Karaganda, bye-bye Kazakhstan, bye-bye Tsum and internet cafe, bye-bye City Mall, bye-bye Green Bazaar (by the way, that place is huge - much bigger than I had realized), bye-bye apartment... bye-bye - Ontario here I come! I've had the time of my life, but now it's time to go home!

My flight details:

Transaero Flight UN517, Moscow to Toronto, arriving Pearson Terminal 3, 1:15 PM Toronto. Just so everyone knows, anyone and everyone is invited to greet us... but remember, we will have just been travelling for 14 hours in the air, with a 2.5 hour lay over in Moscow, and up at 2:30, 3:00 IN THE MORNING Karaganda time to meet our ride at 3:30... so don't except either of us to be in an overly socialable mood. There will be lots of time for that later!

There is one plus about the new apartment... well, there are lots of pluses, with the only minus being the extra stairs... but it actually has air-conditionally, and it has gotten HOT the last couple of days, with the hottest day being today. Boy, am I looking forward to being back at the apartment, where it is cool... But first, I have to manage my way on a very HOT bus...

Anyways, this will most likely be my last post before heading home, so here's the world traveller signing off... see you all on the flip side!!
