Lonely Kazakhstan
Not sure when the LP updated its Central Asian guide, but its way off on hotels. Of the top three budget options in Almaty, one had tripled its prices, one had closed, and the other was after converting to a four-star. The $10 room at the hotel Donetsk in Shymkent had become $35 after a refurbishment. "The hole in the wall" hotel in Turkestan was literally that - when the woman opened the door, there was nothing left but rubble behind. I'd be more upset if I had bought the guide rather that photocopied it. I haven't met another tourist in my ten days here, hopefully Ukraine will be better. I also need a book badly, i've not been able to change a book in six weeks.
