Kazakhstan: Between the steppes and the city

Forget Borat, Sasha Baron Cohen and his film "Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."
The real destination and the people are quite different. Expect amazing hospitality, stunning mountains and steppes, as well as some incredible dining experiences. By Felix Merino and Nick Easen.

Ты конечно читала историю выбора столицы. Но думаю, что будет лучше если прочтешь еще раз.

I like this video because you get to see the "Kazakh squat". I visited Kazakhstan this past summer- my sister met and married a Kazakh man during her stint in the U.S. Peace Corps. We visited his family this past summer in Shymkent, KZ.

One think I noticed was the way men will "squat" on the side of the road and sit there for quite awhile. Also, you get a glimpse of the pointy shoes that are all the rage there and all over the former Soviet Union.
