kazakhstan

  • Hordes of journalists have descended upon Kazakhstan to find a native that looks or acts like Borat, or failing that, to find Borat-like culture in action. None have had much success.
    At a local restaurant, I recommended we order the marinated skewered meat called "shashlyk." "Lovely," Lemanski pronounced his meal when served. "Is this dog, then?" The waiter, taken by surprise, vigorously shook his head. "Could this come in dog?" Lemanski asked hopefully. The waiter looked apoplectic.
