I'm just saying, young girl, going there, forget about it. Go somewhere safer. I don't care how good their mountains look. -- nm - Loyola Nov 5, 09:25 12
- The general rules of safety in Kazakhstan are the same as in any other civilized country of the world. Besides the normal risk of pick-pockets, etc. - Guy Nov 5, 09:28
- for the record, just because something ends in "_stan" doesn't mean it's a horrible violent place. - Andie Nov 5, 09:27 10
  - Exactly. If I'm going to a place on the other side of the world, that is at best a 2nd-world nation in the dead of winter...there better be a damn - Will Hunting Nov 5, 09:33 7
    - young'uns like HK, though, can afford to be a bit less choosy. - znufrii Nov 5, 09:38
    - budget and $500 airfare seems like the main reason. -- nm - mafic Nov 5, 09:36 5
      - Hotkiss - I don't know if its still available, but I'm going to Iceland (+hotel & tour) for $500 -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 09:37 4
        
        yeah, that deal has expired, but you should keep your eyes open. plenty of more exciting places that you can get to for $500 -- (link) - Guy Nov 5, 09:40 3
        
        I was getting excited because I only recently added Iceland to my must go list. But even with their failed economy, it's $$ -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 5, 09:42 2
        
        $469 r/t plus 2 nights from NYC or BOS -- (link) - znufrii Nov 5, 09:46 1
        
        This is why I need to move to nyc! -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 5, 09:49
  - but see: Dignanstan -- nm - big time shamu Nov 5, 09:30 1
    - L3! -- nm - e Nov 5, 09:32
how does one reach places like that in winter? -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 09:23 1
- im responding solely to Loyola's clueless fear-mongering -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 09:27
It's very niice. -- nm - Borat Nov 5, 09:22
I assume that view looks different in January, though. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 09:22 12
- in the highlands, sure, but i think the lower parts are a little more temperate. the border the Caspian to the west -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 09:25 9
  - She said she was going to Almaty. In January it's below 0 C everyday. -- nm - Jim Nov 5, 09:27 8
    - that's certainly not my cup of tea, i was just refuting the idea that the place is a shithole where you are guaranteed to be abducted -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 09:35 6
      - You really believe that needed refutation by cherry-picking some photographs of places she won't see given it'll likely be wintry-covered? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 09:36 5
        
        who did I address at the beginning of my post? - Guy Nov 5, 09:38 3
        
        His posts had nothing to do with truth either. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 09:40 2
        
        im sorry that you think me sharing pretty photographs is asinine. I'm a photography and nature fan, so I fear it may happen again. - Guy Nov 5, 09:44 1
        
        Here's another great picture! - Will Hunting Nov 5, 09:49 [Image]
        
        See? Plaid. -- nm - Jim Nov 5, 09:38
    - She might as well come to Toronto -- nm - Roger More Nov 5, 09:28
- that's what gives me pause. a lot of what I'd consider the more scenic parts (mountains, steppe, etc.), might be almost completely inaccessible. - mafic Nov 5, 09:24 1
  - I'm not sure they're easily reachable in summer. Did you see Ewan McGregor crossing it on motorcycle? - loosilu Nov 5, 09:26
But see, you can see that for a lot cheaper and closer to home. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 09:22
i'm sure it's a lovely place but there are about 900 other destinations on my list above it -- nm - big time shamu Nov 5, 09:21
wow. - znufrii Nov 5, 09:21
just a hideous place -- (link) - Guy Nov 5, 09:21 [Image] 14
- wonderguy powers . . . activate! - big time shamu Nov 5, 09:23 6
  - you got fuckfaces who constantly site "Taken" as a reason to never travel, but im self-righteously indignant? -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 09:33 4
    - Taken is a ringing endorsement of international travel ... if your father is Liam Fucking Neeson. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 09:48
    - Don't forget Hostel. -- nm - David Nov 5, 09:34 2
      - Turistas. The Ruins. -- nm - Roger More Nov 5, 09:36 1
        
        What we're saying is that vacationing women DIE. -- nm - David Nov 5, 09:39
  - he could be your sidekick - 'lia Nov 5, 09:27
- burn my eyes, burn my eyes! -- (link) - Guy Nov 5, 09:22 [Image] 6
  - Guy, I have no clue whether Loyola or you are right, but the - amoxy Nov 5, 09:26 4
    - you could just google image "kazakhstan", but here's a dangerous, unrule bakery - Guy Nov 5, 09:31 [Image] 1
      - this is pretty -- (link) - Guy Nov 5, 09:31 [Image]
    - Wikipedia shows some very nice things actually -- nm - Guigue Nov 5, 09:29
    - Exactly...I could find pics like that from every country in the world. Doesn't mean I want to va-ca there. -- nm - Jim Nov 5, 09:28
  - So far, you are proving my point. - Spawn Nov 5, 09:23
