The Riot at the Hyatt

We had our year end/Christmas dinner last night at the Hyatt. About 150 staff members were there. The food was fantastic and the music was great. One more week of school and then we get 3 weeks off.
I've never been in a Hyatt Hotel anywhere else in the world, so maybe someone out there can corroborate something for me--we had a drink in the upstairs lounge before going in for dinner. I had a whiskey and Edna had a glass of wine: $45. Our friends had one whiskey, one gin and tonic, and one martini: 17,000 Tenge ($105).

Ah, Kazakhstan--the land of contrasts.
