The Unstylish Need Not Apply
Two weeks ago, the President announced that, “Residents of Astana should look like residents of the capital. The inhabitants of Astana themselves agree the capital should be at the level of world capitals, including in fashion. There are many stylish clothes in the shops However, by their own admission, not all residents try to take care of their appearance.” according to 31 Channel [RUS] (via Nomad.su).
Personally, I wouldn’t mind a raise in my salary if I am expected to dress nicely. And clean sidewalks everywhere. And well-drained roads so there isn’t mud. And if we are also enforcing rules that cars in Astana should be clean, can we please clean the city up? Less mud, less construction and please stop running your car in the garage for 20 minutes before you get into it. My car gets dirtier in the garage than it does in the street and I really can’t afford the time or the cost of washing it every two days.
