Recent Shots From Tstan

The following are pictures highlighting a few of Chris' recent experiences. It's great to have visuals to accompany his detailed blog entries. Apologies for my serial killer-esque posting job (odd angles, crooked pictures...)! Erin




Chris, Yhlas and Enesh (neighbor) goofing around.

Ejegul in line for bumper cars. A little familiarity here!

















At the material corridor of the Talkoochka Bazaar.
