I really want Almaty because why not? Should be a hoot.

At least it appears no one has to fly SCAT airlines to get there. That should be an Olympic event in itself.

Neat Story about Kazahstan's capital Astana

I thought this was interesting. They shifted the capital from Almaty in 1997 to Astana when the latter was basically a field. Pretty neat.

I would rather it be out of China at this time. We were there too recently with the summer games.

Off topic, I know, but when is the next realistic chance for the games to be here in the states? Chicago would make a great summer site.

I would like to go to Astana and watch a hockey game. They have a KHL team, Barys Astana.

And hopefully Almaty gets the Olympics.
