You inspired me to post about my time in Almaty. It took me all day, but I got it done! It was a wonderful trip down memory lane and I've already reconnected with someone from those days after writing my post, so thank you for the inspiration!
Have a read if you've a mind to. I won't post a link because of all the phishing stuff that's going on right now. You can find it through my profile if you want to.
Cheers!
