An American expat living in Astana, Kazakhstan

You’re so Funny. Not.

Ok, what was the point of this piece: You Get One Piece of Carrion Luggage? It takes a picture of Kazakhs hunting with hawks and makes a really stupid joke.

So what’s the best domestic airline for getting from place to place [in Kazakshtan -KZBlog]?

There is one small one that’s kind of unusual. They tie a huge eagle on your wrist, put you on a horse that gallops around 30 miles per hour then abruptly stops at the edge of a steep abyss, and the eagle takes over.

I suppose I could see it if hawk hunting was something that looked really strange or was completely unheard of in the world outside Kazakhstan, but it’s not. The only thing I will give the article credit for is that it makes fun of Kazakhstan but never once mentions Borat!
