Formerly Tselinograd, later Akmola. Nowadays it is called Astana. Previously Astana was the oblast's center (administrative unit in Kazakhstan). Now it is a capital since 1997. The capital was transferred from Almaty. Since that time Astana is growing fast. It is situated on both sides of Esil river. The right bank is called old town, whilst the left bank is a new administrative center of the new capital.

Astana is one the most expenssive cities in Kazakhstan along with Almaty (financial and cultural center), Atyrau (oil and gas capital) and Aktau (sea port on Caspian). Cheap stuff can be found in bazaars and large markets like "Eurasia", "Arman" and etc.
Astana , Food:
4/10
Eating is a problem in Astana though there are lots of cafes and restaurants. Unfortunately, most of them can not be considered to be cheap or good. Usually, food is expenssive and fairly good. A usual lunch for a person might cost starting from 1500 tenge (13 USD). And it is not a good lunch at all.
Astana , Hotels:
5/10
There are many hotels and lots are being built. Astana can boast Intercontinental hotel, Rixos President hotel and a few more 5* hotels. There are also 2-3 hotels with 4* grading. And lots of 2* hotels. But prices usually high inspite of fair service. A single room in 2-3* hotel might cost 40-50 usd. 6* hotels cost from 200 Usd.
Astana , Safety:
5/10
It is quite safe to walk in the downtown in midnight. Though it is highly not advised to walk somewhere in the suburbs. There lots of police cams and police booths all over the city.

Michael Walker, actually seiarlas already have doubled the past 6 years! At least in manufacturing they have, for high skilled operators, but office staff as well. I am in Suzhou, I set up the firm in 2004, left end of 2010.In 2005 if you wanted operators, accountants, loads of people would show up for an interview. Nowadays you get 6 potential operators at the door in stead of 50; and 2 accountants in stead of 15 5 or 6 years ago!An apartment in Suzhou SIP cost you 6500RMB/m2 in 2006; they go for 17-18000/m2 today!And don't forget inflation: 6% yoy.Moreover: a pack of milk will cost you 9.5RMB for 1liter, in Germany and Holland we pay 5RMB max! So China is double the price of EU and yes, both countries are heavily subsidized! So who is fooling who and who is profiting big-time here?I purchase fabrication parts and sub-assemblies to export to the EU and I visit suppliers and manufacturers all over China. They all face the same problem that staff keeps asking for wage increase every week! No matter in Shenzhen, Wenzhou, Ningbo, Suzhou, Shandong. China cheap? No way!!!
