Ali Ba Ba

Category: Eating Out,Friends,Personal,PicturesChrisM @ 8:47 pm

Here we have Walton, Asel, Dr. Ken, David, Irina and myself, all eating out at the Ali Ba Ba restaurant in Astana, just after out return to Kazakhstan from Britain and Amsterdam. Which reminds me, I still have a lot of Amsterdam pictures hiding on one of the hard drives that need to be published along with a few coffeeshop reviews.

Fountains And Horse Milk

Chris Alex Fountain Astana Kazakhstan
Here we have a photo on a hot day, with Alex in front of a fountain. It was definitely nice to cool off your feet in the water. We tried to stay out of the midday sun, so as to avoid the hottest part of the day. At least that was my excuse for talking, drinking and watching stuff on the TV late into the dawn, then getting up late.

Alex Kumis Ali-Ba-Ba Astana Kazakhstan
Here we have Alex being adventurous, drinking kumis (fermented horse milk) at the Ali-Ba-Ba restaurant. We chose a Kazakh style table, similar in height to the Japanese with some throw cushions for sitting on. Nice for chilling out and relaxing…
