It's all gone to a new home
I spent last 6 months there and hope to work there for at least couple more years. I am in Almaty, it's a nice city although air can be really polluted in winter.
Borat movie is not well liked there, which is understandable because none of it was shot in Kazakhstan (it was in Romania) and there are no Kazakhs either, actually, there is nothing even remotely resembling Kazakhstan, besides the name of the country
I don't know about fishing and hunting, but Shymbulak is really close to the city and fun, I plan to do a lot of skiing this winter on my new skies.
