The city of Astana is not very nice, very artificial and new, easy to see all of it in one hour. Astana is also the worlds second coldest capital after Ulan Bator.

Some friends are already in the air, flying in from China, Japan, Russia and Europe. My trip will go via Chicago to Miami and I have 10+3 hours in coach ahead of me from Copenhagen.
