In response to "Serious question: I'm thinking of taking a 2wk vacation to Almaty, Kazakhstan in January. Any comments or has anyone been there?" by Hotkiss

- Unless it's to visit Borat's home....KZ ain't exactly a modern cultural phenomenon. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 07:30
- yeah, why not? -- nm - TFox Nov 5, 06:55 3
  - I have to be honest...I like znufrii's post SO much more while you're paying off this bet. -- nm - Jim Nov 5, 07:01 2
    - i missed something. what bet? -- nm - zork Nov 5, 07:26
    - I'm loving it. -- nm - kelly Nov 5, 07:19
Central Asia is on my to-do list - seeing the old silk road cities like Samarkand and Bokhara would be wonderful -- nm - Roger More Nov 5, 06:53
i was wondering that too, i understand going off the beaten path, but, this might be a smidge extreme for no reason. - Andie Nov 5, 06:53 5
- For a college student why not start with Europe or Australia or something like that? -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 06:55 4
  - yep, i'm sure K-stan would be just fine, but, she might be limited. I admire the desire to see new worlds though. -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 07:03 1
    - It depends on what she expects from it. If it's to discover new cultures and go places not many people go, it could be very interesting - Guigue Nov 5, 07:06
  - Exactly. -- nm - Jim Nov 5, 06:58
  - I'm guessing it comes from a specific opportunity, like a cheap airfare -- nm - Roger More Nov 5, 06:55
