Ian is leaving us.. Well at least trying to leave us..

Over the weekend we had Ian's going away party. He invited for drinks at TGI Friday's after work. It was, as usual, a fun night out with the gang! Plenty of beer and vodka, and good people!
We do not want Ian to leave us, we will miss him so! The only good thing is that he will stay in Atyrau, and live in the same apartment block, but he will just be working for Shell. So we are hoping for many more fun times ahead!
So now it is just an angry volcano stopping him from leaving us, and coming back into KZ with a work visa with Shell and not Aker. We keep telling him, that he can not go, and even Mother Earth tells him he can not go... But he is not taking the hint…
