bitchy bloggers and corvettes

one of the reasons i started this blog is to contradict some or most i should say expat blogs i have read. not all but a good 80% of these expat in kz blogs go like this... " and i went to the store and they didn't have the shampoo i use in belgium i hate this country !" or " oh my god i tried to use the bus the other day and everyone was SOO rude and not helpful at all and some of them even smelled of b.o. " these blogs crack me up. when i first came here it took some time for me to adjust too but i at least entered the experience with some what of an open mind. things are very different here then at home, but that's part of the reason i moved. and the thing i have even more come to realize is that whilst things are very different then at home, there are also many things that are the same. i feel bad that when new expats come here and try to search out familiar voices in blogs or forums to help them cope with the change in there surroundings, the majority of what they find are whiny little stuck up expats who expect almaty or astana or aktobe to be JUST like akron or brussels or wales...its not and you should have assumed that coming here so suck up your lip and grow up a bit.

just a side note while out in the city today i saw 2 corvettes a black one and a red one, i would just like to give a big molodets! to these 2 guys, way to at least have some style and originality in how you blow your money rather then a over-priced, under-performing refrigerator looking suv ( the mercedes g-wagon .)
