Update situation

As far as I can tell, there are three places to get internet in Kyzyl. The post office's 'biznes tsentr', the internet cafe in the Hotel Kyzyl, and the internet cafe 'Internet Student'. I've been checking my email at least every other day or so, but not for more than half an hour or so. This means I have to write updates on my computer at home, put them on a flash drive and hope to find a computer that has working USB ports. Nevertheless, keep checking back. I hope to continue (or start) updating fairly regularly.
