CPR

They say
to start
the heart

attach it 
to a Ley-
den Jar

& it will
keep per-

has no
hands so

how can you
tell what
time it is?

geographies: Kyzylorda


               The two rice mills that operate 
          in the city are the main out-
                       lets for those Kazakhstani 
                arthouse films that tend to 
                            do well at European film
                       festivals. But now that the 
             Aral Sea has almost totally 
                    shrunk away there is no direct 
                
                  reason for tourists to visit despite 
         the grand Tsarist railway station that
             dates from 1904 & was the arrival
                        port for Korean deportees
                  under Stalin. Snow is common —
                           though light — in winter.
