"If we find poetry in the service station and motel, if we are drawn to the airport or train carriage, it is perhaps because, in spite of their architectural compromises and discomforts, in spite of their garish colours and harsh lighting, we implicitly feel that these isolated places offer us a material setting for an alternative to the selfish ease, the habits and confinement of the ordinary, rooted world.” ― Alain de Botton, The Art of Travel

Kazakhstan
A new and unexpected opportunity for learning something new about a culture I have never had exposure to awaits. In 2 weeks I will be setting off to Atyrau, Kazakhstan. Situated on the Ural River, it sits with one foot in Asia and one foot in Europe. I shall try and relay some of my experiences through visual imagery and through words.
