There’s an American Perceptions of Kazakhstan survey being put out by the Embassy in the US. It’s basically a series of questions about Kazakhstan to see if Americans know the right answers, plus a few questions about level of interest. I was slightly put off by certain questions that seemed to be more opinion-oriented admist the factual questions. “How big is Kazakhstan?” followed by “Is Kazakhstan open to foreign investment?” I am slightly afraid the results will pop up in an article about the ignorance or lack thereof of Americans regarding Kazakhstan. It is also clearly oriented to Americans who have never been to Kazakhstan so I wasn’t sure what to do with the question, “Would you travel to Kazakhstan?” At the moment it would be impossible for me to travel TO Kazakhstan.
