Produktinformationen zu „Stir Crazy in Kazakhstan (ePub)“
Kazakhstan a country of extremes, of both culture and weather.
This is an account of one persons experience, coping with living and working in a strange environment where normal, day to day activities can turn out to be monumental in their execution and where any comfort zones are hard to find!
My experiences far exceeded any expectations or anticipations I had had and I had to draw on reserves I never knew I even possessed.
I describe living conditions and the difficulties I encountered both in the workplace a drug treatment centre and in forming relationships. I found myself caught up in a court case in which one of my interpreters had been charged with possession of
illegal substances ( namely heroin). Having broken my arm I had the dubious privilege of intimate knowledge of a Kazakhstani hospital, and ended my year in a wild, isolated and basic farmhouse on the borders of Kazakhstan, Russia and China.

Autoren-Porträt von Katy Warner
Katy Warner has four adult children and five grandchildren and worked for eighteen years in a well-known treatment centre in the UK, starting off as an addictions counsellor before training in family therapy. She set up and managed the family services for the centre, about which she was passionate, but having survived the breakup of a relationship and breast cancer, her philosophy of life was deeply affected, and so she decided to do the things on her to-do-before-I-die list.First on that list was a desire to not just travel but also to experience different cultures.
She resigned from her job and accepted a position with a voluntary organization in Kazakhstan.
Despite the sometimes intense frustrations, she did stick out the contracted year.
On returning to the UK, she later went to Bangkok to train as a TEFL teacher and has worked in Thailand, Spain, the UK, Saudi Arabia, India, and Sri Lanka.
