You could probably get around with Russian. Kazakh is probably less wide-spread in Astana than Ukrainian in Kiev, but who knows. Besides according to FIFA, Kazakhstan is part of Europe, so it doesn't sound too oriental. According to Wikipedia Astana is second coldest capital in the world after Ulaan-Bator. Wikepedia also confirms that climate-wise it is depressingly like Edmonton. <br /><br />However, the last also has lots of oil and it's part of Canada, so it still sort of gets my vote. You forgot the drawback of being in a non-free state, even if it's at Singapore level as opposed to North Korea. I'll run it by the wife and emphasize her Turkic origins and her chance to rediscover them in the glorious land of Nazarbaev... but it doesn't look good. You're right that maybe for a single person it could be a good deal.uncle samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-46444253139594668342012-08-14T10:54:24.963-04:002012-08-14T10:54:24.963-04:00I would not joke about the Kazach job - they are e...I would not joke about the Kazach job - they are extremely unbelievably rich and setting up an chemistry program must be their national priority since all their money comes from fossil fuels and minerals. It could be like working for Saudis without the Wahabi kingdom intolerant nonsense. Lots of lush natural beauty in Alma-Ata mountains. The only drawback is that Astana is frigging cold place to live - I believe it is the country capital with lowest average temperatures. So for a young single adventurous man who does not mind learning an oriental language, this could be a pretty sweet deal. milkshakehttp://orgprepdaily.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-86563235972293214012012-08-14T10:53:12.209-04:002012-08-14T10:53:12.209-04:00The Borat job sounds nice in terms of benefits, bu...The Borat job sounds nice in terms of benefits, but my wife told me that dodgy countries are out of the question for work...
