And honestly, Kazakhstan couldn't truly be considered for something like the Olympics. Not yet anyway. I've been to Almaty a couple times and they really don't have much for hotels. They have nice new facilities for sport but the rest of the city is still very much under development. The main freeway through the city is pretty much always jammed during rush hour.
The city itself is really something though. It's gorgeous and interesting. If they keep working at upgrading their facilities and infrastructure, they'll get their chance.
