After registering this morning, I discovered all the sessions were in Russian, so I let two of the technical staff go in my place; just as well since the meeting at Kazakhtelecom took longer than I thought, and I had more work to do in the office anyway.
Still managed to see Lena for a late lunch, which made the day that much more pleasant. Thought I might stop by the Ankara for the Cisco Expo dinner, but instead decided to go through with my regularly scheduled Russian lesson-- this time, nouns only, so it'll be less confusing.
