Well I've passed through eastern Russia to reach the country of Kazakhstan! So this seventh week, the total kilometers traveled is 17,498 as 4,095 pages were added to last weeks total of 13,403.
Kazakhstan is ranked as the ninth largest country in the world as well as the world's largest landlocked country. Landlocked means of course that none of Earth's oceans touch it's land. I think that's pretty impressive. Also part of it its western territory is considered to be in Europe while the rest is considered to be in Asia.
Kazakhstan as a country is also much younger then Shellbrook! We're celebrating our 100th birthday on November 18th and they declared themselves an independent country on December 16, 1991 which means this year they're only turning 18! Who do you know that is 18?
