Sketches of Eurasia | 01 | Almaty

Welcome to the first part of the Eurasian rail adventure in whichI try to get from Almaty, Kazakhstan, to Edinburgh, Scotland, without flying. 

In this episode, hear about abseiling pizza deliveries, what it means to terrenkur, where to find the best coffee(s) in Almaty, and how not to pay for your groceries in a Kazakh supermarket!

Along with the sounds of the city, I listened to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue - as many might say, the finest jazz recording of all time - while walking around Almaty. You might want to listen to it, too.
