Map Of Kazakhstan

Category: Friends,Kazakhstan,PicturesChrisM @ 8:55 pm

If you have already checked out the link I gave earlier for 3D models of the buildings around where Irina works, you may be interested in an attraction Alex, Ira and I visited last week – it is basically a model map of Kazakhstan you can walk around. You get an idea of where the different towns and regions are within this country, and there is also a covered section which ‘zooms’ in on the area of Astana covered by the Google satellite map I mentioned earlier.

Here we have a tired Ira and me carrying out some very important task on my phone. Or I could have just been playing a game, can’t remember.

That is Alex, standing by the aforementioned map of Astana itself.

3D Models Of Astana Buildings

Category: KazakhstanChrisM @ 8:22 pm

Whilst double checking how to spell ‘Baiterek’ I came across some 3D models of buildings around that area. I will have to install the Google Sketchup application I downloaded a while back, but it will be worth it to see just what sort of level of detail there is in these models.
The page can be found here, where you will also find a satellite map of the area, which can be useful to give you an idea of scale.
This post is not paid for, the models are free, it just caught my attention…
