But first a quick shout out to the Karaganda State Medical University. I have now visited and lectured at all the public medical schools here in Kazakhstan. KSMU is one of the elite. Students are in the midst of exams and are taking them very seriously, unlike here in Almaty. Visiting the other schools projects context on the culture that is KazNMU. With but two weeks to go I won't say anymore.
I have less than two weeks left here before I, hopefully, head to St. Petersburg, then to Moscow-Irkustk-Vladivostock-Seoul-Hawaii-Bellingham, WA-Walla Walla, WA -Portland, OR-home.
I find I have little to say at this point although I will attempt to sum up the last year before I depart. Until then, I will post a photo a day on Facebook. I know, a little lame but more folks read it than here.So for now please head over to Mike Pendleton on FB.
