A Hedonist’s Guide to…Almaty & Astana


These days, a friendly visit to the local Kazakh Embassy will get you an armful of books on the joys and wonders of everyone’s favorite Central Asian oil state.

Eternal Remont’s personal favorite, compliments of the Embassy staff, is A Hedonist’s Guide to…Almaty & Astana.

Did you know, for example, “There are not many clubs in Astana that don’t have a striptease, and Seoul Plaza (located at 16/2 Respublik Ave., Tel 320 010 or 328 462) is no exception….if you’re making a night of it, and you happen to be Russian Orthodox, you won’t have long to wait after closing until the bells start ringing for the next-door cathedral’s first service.”

Wow.

Thanks Embassy of Kazakhstan!

I'm not judging at all or trying to insult anyone, honestly, but how necessary is a hedonist's guide to most former Soviet states? The book could be written in the "See Spot Run" series: See Dick. See Dick walk. See Dick enter Klub. See Dick see naked woman.

Does it include the ancient Kazakh remedy for syphilis? Methinks its something involving honey and vinegar …

Sorry, I've been corrected. The honey is part of the recipe for *getting* syphilis.
