A ROOM WITH A VIEW, KIMEP, AUGUST, 1998
This was the first room I stayed in in the Kazakhstan Institute for Management and Economic Planning (KIMEP). I was told that this was one of the former party schools and this was dormitory for it. The room was better than my dormitory room in Queen's University, Canada, and had hardwood floors, one bathroom for every two rooms here together, a balcony, from which I took the shot below, and a desk, two beds, built in closet space and a hangining wall radio. If there were a dormitory room that ought not to be made Western, this is it. Otherwise it would be made more expensive, the room would have awful carpets, a whole bunch of advertisement packages for new students, and people would tell you it was the highest quality in the world.
