Kazakhs invest in new Astana

Thirteen years since the rebirth of Astana, in Kazakhstan, the administrative capital is also becoming a regional business and cultural fulcrum, opening up new opportunities for young people from across the country.
 
One of Central Asia's most distinctive cities, the capital of Kazakhstan is celebrating its 13th rebirthday. In the Kazakh language, Astana literally means 'capital'. Before its constructive explosion, its population was less than 300,000 -- a Soviet industrial outpost, not the most conveniently located, on the vast Kazakh plains.

I just checked out Astana on Google Earth. It seems like an amazing place that the stupid Borat stereotype will never measure up to.

[antoshahorosha]

Yeah, city of the future...

When are you going to stop using the Russian tongue and go back to the Kazakh? Since most of the Russians are kicked out, but they seem to still project themselves with the Russian instead of Kazakh, is it because it would affect on how people perceive the nation?
