ABOUT ME

Only last year I was a Russian-speaking Kazakh student at an American college finishing my bachelor degree on an exchange program in Bologna, Italy.
Now I am an average Kazakh worker in the snowy cold capital of Kazakhstan--Astana. Yet, I still plan to travel more: one day I also will see Hermitage in St. Petersburg, walk by the riverside in Prague with Kafka's short stories collection in my hands, count bridges and take pictures in Amsterdam, and make a Bloom tour of Dublin!

PHILOSOPHY

"You could get a book then. There was a book in the library about Holland. There were lovely foreign names in it and pictures of strangelooking cities and ships. It made you feel so happy" from _A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man_ by James Joyce.
