Almaty

When you enter Kazakhstan from Kyrgystan it doesn't seem to be much different at first - until you reach Almaty. Almaty is very European in terms of buildings, roads, cars (actually nicer cars than in Europe...), cafes but also prices. A Cappuchino in a "hip" Coffee sets you back 5 USD. The people are really dressed up here, we kind of felt underdressed wherever we went...
