What's Hot in 2008

WHAT? Almaty, Kazakhstan.

WHY? Isn't that where Borat comes from? Vibrant Almaty lies in the fotthills of the Tien Shan mountains in Central Asia. You can ski all day (at Chimbulak, 25 minutes away) and party 'til dawn at the city's hip restaurants, bars and clubs that pop up almost weekly. Relax in Almaty's public baths and buy antique Kazakh jewellery at Tsum. Dine at funky Zheti Kazyna and stay at Kazzhol.
