Tuesday September 12 (Day Thirteen)
To Aralsk by Train (8 hours)
Finally it was the day for the departure to Aralsk. The return ticket was for normal seats which means you cannot lie down almost for more than 8 hours and it was sorted out by the Vice-President of the university. God bless him!! The compartment was very much cozy and I thought it would be great if you could travel across the Syberia with this kind of train. We bought the food and other necessaries for the train travel. It was my first time to get on the train like that. So many first times..
Meeting with Mr Askarov
The time when we arrived in Aralsk was almost 12 oclock. And there was an old gentleman waiting for us. Mr Askarov. In fact I still cannot figure out what kind of person he is. He was sometimes grumpy but gentle and kind in other times.. in a word.. just an old man. When we checked in hour hotel, the best in town, of course, where you don:t have any shower facility in the room, he suggested to have a briefing session for our research. He showed us several materials related to NGOs and the places he was trying to show us. We decided to visit just one
