Atyrau Journal - Never a dull moment in the neighborhood

December 7, 2022 Expatriate spouses at our small Christmas party!

Some expats have lived here in Atyrau for nine years (by choice). Others, like us, are enjoying their first international assignment. Other expats have been on international assignments for decades in places like Venezuela, Indonesia, Angola, Nigeria, Singapore, Australia, United Kingdom, and more. Above you see expat spouses from Canada, Indonesia, Mexico, United States, and maybe a couple of other places.

Here are pictures of our front door, our street in Dostyk Village, and the view from the balcony near Jim's office, all in winter:
