Reuters Michael Steen has a story on Kazakhstan’s efforts to build a new capital, Astana.

And in this story about a new capital city shoe-horned onto a desolate and wind-swept stretch of a trickle of a river do they compare it to Canberra?

No, they don’t! Bloody BRASILIA!

We need to do something to re-assert our dominance of this field immediately!

“or maybe sascha baron needs to do a character from canberra…. make them exceedingly boring.. that would do wonders for the amount of interest canberra would recieve.”

Their first name would have to be Colin, wouldn’t it?

I once drove a Mazda Astana

My wife was born in Kazakstan and loves Canberra.
Fits her ideal of a socialist paradise while I prefer nearby bogun city.

Well maybe we should invite Borat to Canberra so he can inform his fellow countrymen and women what a fine city we have here?
