As I made my way through central Asia, I made a quick stop in Astana, Kazakhstan. It was a beautiful city, and was also hailed as one of the weirdest capital cities by CNN. Astana's modern design was a stark contrast to the steppes surrounding it, in fact, there are very few people for hundreds of miles.
The first place I visited in Astana was the Khan Shatyr shopping mall which doubles as the world's largest tent. I also visited the Central Concert Hall, which looked a lot like the White House, to take in some of the culture Astana had to offer. Finally, I visited Astana Arena to watch an Astana FC soccer match. I was Impressed by how Modernized Astana was and hope to return to this beautiful city one day.
