Kazakhstan
So Almaty then & Kairat. I am also friends with G00gle.
How do you get on with the language there?
That's cheating!
The main language in this region is Russian (even though it was just 150 miles from the Chinese border) and by transliterating the Cyrillic script I can understand a few things but it's not easy, which I like. 'Twas part of the Soviet Union, of course
I have since moved on to a neighbouring country, where getting around is even more of a challenge but, once again, Russian in the lingua franca here too.
Not seen a tourist since I landed several days ago and months of preparation have paid off handsomely for my very complicated schedule slightly off the beaten track.
Not as brave as you. I’m doing a farewell to Poland (& work) grand driving tour in June. 8 countries already on the list, checking the logistics for others. Contemplating going to Lviv but looks like I can’t get insurance.
Lviv and let Lviv, I say. Visited Kyiv/Kiev and Odessa/Odessa a few years ago. The latter had a bit of a Parisian feel about it and flying between those cities showed exactly why it is the breadbasket of Europe. Flat, cultivated fields from ear of corn to ear.
Entering Ukraine via bus from Transnistria was spooky though.
Today's ground I visited belongs to a team that plays in the capital city of a double-landlocked country (and it shares the latter characteristic only with Liechtenstein).
Don't worry about the name of the club itself but what city is it?
And no googling!

Kyrgyzstan?
And now the stadium that City played in against Torpedo Moscow. The two photos of the external of the building are mine (and taken today) but the internal one I filched as I couldn't blag my way in.

Here's a photo I took yesterday outside the national football stadium. As I tend to walk around for six or seven hours every day it's easy to include such stadiums on my routes. I'm not here specifically to photograph them
