  • 19 - Here a Stan, there a Stan, everwhere a Stan Stan! We arrived into Almaty at 3am and at that time in the morning there was nothing to do except wait it out at the airport until the city got going. It's a tough place for backpackers as people Posted by FiColes in Fi & Bryn's Big Trip | Sep 25, 2009
  • On the Run We cheated. No other way to say it. Traveling overland across Eurasia in the height of summer travel season is not possible without weeks to spare. For several days we worked to book tain tickets to Russia, but all were Posted by ahawkes in Beijing to Berlin | Jul 7, 2007
  • The Order of Chaos Our first two days in Kazakhstan were not spent drinking in the snow-capped peaks of the Altay Mountains, or imbibing liesurely in one of Almaty's shady sidewalk bars. No, we were in for a real shocker entering this ex-Soviet republic, Posted by ahawkes in Beijing to Berlin | Jul 4, 2007
  • Kazakhstan round up The last two months have been an awesome experience. I think if I came to Kazakhstan for a week or two I wouldn’t really get it. It’s got a few cool things to see and the Soviet / Asian combo Posted by Nat and Ev in Nat & Ev | Apr 8, 2007
  • Last week in Kazakhstan With our time in Kazakhstan drawing to a very rapid close we tried to make the most of the last week. Of the long list of things we wanted to do whilst in Kazakhstan three tasks remained. The first was a hike in Posted by Nat and Ev in Nat & Ev | Mar 31, 2007
  • HAPPY (Kazakh) NEW YEAR!!! A few weeks ago I noticed a change in the air as Shymkent awoke from its winter slumber. Nauryz Meyrami was fast approaching and all good Kazakhs know what that means… It was time for a city wide spring clean. Posted by Nat and Ev in Nat & Ev | Mar 23, 2007
  • Why CRCA? Ok it’s time for the what, why, how and who of why we have decided to come to an industrial city in Kazakhstan in winter for 2 months…. CR is an aid organization that seeks to meet needs w Posted by Nat and Ev in Nat & Ev | Mar 14, 2007
  • Chimbulak and Almaty Not much seems to go to plan in Central Asia. In my last post I mentioned that we were off to Almaty for a few days to get our Uzbek visas. Hours before boarding the train we decided to check Posted by Nat and Ev in Nat & Ev | Feb 28, 2007
  • Turkistan (and Shymkent update) After spending a few days exploring Shymkent we decided it was high time we spread our wings a little and ventured into the country side.

  • Baby Henry February 19, 2007 First of all, for those of you who are reading this, we are sorry that it took us so many days to get this website up and running! We had planned to update it daily so that Posted by jlotter in Kazakhstan | Feb 19, 2007
  • Shymkent The place we are living while in Kazakhstan, the city of Shymkent (Шымкент), is probably not on the list of 'must-see' places when visiting Kazakhstan. Most people see it as a transit town, giving easy access to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Posted by Nat and Ev in Nat & Ev | Feb 17, 2007
  • Almaty From the moment we stepped off the plane Kazakhstan has been a weird and wonderful experience. Whilst I had been to former Communist countries before this is definitely a completely different kettle of fish. The soviet era is over but Posted by Nat and Ev in Nat & Ev | Feb 11, 2007
