Borat on CNN International While Real Kazakhs Keep On Kazakhing
Where: Kazakhstan
Borat has been making the media rounds lately, and this morning (EST, at least) he made an appearance on CNN International for an interview with Becky Anderson. He refused to shake hands with the female journalist, but opened up a bit about his path to journalism ("I was educate in Astana University," "before this...I was a gypsy-catcher") and reasons for coming to America.
Not that he spoke much about the real Kazakhstan, though he did mention that it borders "assholes Uzbekistan." For a bit of photojournalism to temper the Borat attack, check out this slide show produced by Felix Merino and Nick Easen. It contains pictures of the Tien Shan and Kungey Alatau mountains, "richly decorated" yurts, and urban life in Almaty.
Thanks for the tip McCluskey!
