I have been waiting at the Astana airport for almost two hours. My NIS has not showed and I have no contact information for anyone. Can anyone help?

Has someone picked you up now? I have the number of my team leader who I believe is still in Astana for the "orientation". If you need it, email me at mann_s@ura.nis.edu.kz as I do not want to post his private number on the forum.

Once again Biologyman and Kimdamio you have been an outstanding resource!!!
Kim, my team leader came to me asking about a blog post (this was after a perfect stranger in the airport called NIS in Astana and explained my situation which led to someone finally coming around nine) and I told him that the blog has been a lifesaver more than once and at the time, it was the only thing I could think to do. He explained how word had traveled all the way from Uralsk that I was stranded.
It is great to know that although I have never met either of you, you both were quick to use your connections to assist me.
I waited for five and a half hours with everyone saying "No English" then my electronics died and I had no communication whatsoever.
Again, thank you so much for caring!!
P.S. This definitely inspired me to get a local phone today. Maybe one day, I will have the pleasure of meeting you both.
Leslie

Hi Leslie.
The word travelled from Australia!!! I'm still home, leaving today to return. I got your email and flew into action. The thought of you being stranded was just not on!!! I'm happy that you are now safe and with your new fellow ITs
Please feel free at anytime to email. I will pm you my kazakh number soon. Take care
Kim
