Having overstayed my visa here in China, I was forced to flee in terror for Kazakhstan. But I quickly managed to turn those lemons into lemonade! Almaty is one rockin' city and the Kazakh people are fantastic. You've earned a place in my heart, Kazakhstan.

Now that I've visited Fubar in Urumqi, I'm officially a Xinjiang expat. Hooray! Recommended for it's Western drink, food, and atmosphere.

Camilla and I get ready for the beautiful flight to Almaty. Getting to Kazakhstan was a lot easier than getting back.

The flight from Urumqi to Almaty was spectacular, passing over beautiful peaks in the Tian Shan Mountains.

We're not in China anymore! The Kazakh flag flies high in Almaty.

The Soviet-chic stylings of the Hotel Kazakhstan, Almaty. We opted, however, to stay in someone's unoccupied apartment... comfortable and far cheaper.

A sunset panorama of Almaty, Kazakhstan. We rode the gondola up to Koktyube (Green Peak) to snap this one.

Almaty truly is heaven! My mouth was very happy to taste Honey Nut Cheerios after an 8-month absence.

Camilla forced me to snap photos of this Kazakh bride in Almaty's Republic Square. She does give you an idea, however, of how beautiful Kazakh women are.

The architecture in Almaty has a distinctly Russian (very un-Chinese) flavor.
