Grenze

Қордай (Korday) is a small kazakh town directly at the kyrgyz border. Azim and me just walk over the border, come back into Kazakhstan and refresh my visa. Afterwards we drive along the border in east direction to Azim's village.

Zeug

Before we continue the drive, Azim invites me to taste his favourite drink ... It is grinded grain, that tastes bitter. As Azim says, it might be healthy, but anyway that's not for me.

Brot
In Kara-Su we go for some groceries shopping
to get presents for Azim's family.
