Usually those jobs are direct with the Oil Co's like Chevron and Eni who are big out there. Jobs with the oil service co's and the EPC's tend to be on a much worse rotation like 6x2. I'd do it if starvation was the only other option, but I've avoided it so far as I've only ever known one guy who said it was OK. Many others have said to me it's a s**thole.Comment

Woo, interesting, I can speak Russian and I've been to KZ. Almaty is ok but Astana is the main place now I think.
I went to Uralsk tho....
I was also promised a trip to Baikonur to see a rocket launch but promises weren't kept.....
Kazhaki people are pretty ugly (not my words, those of my russian friends) - look like eskimos, but the ethnic Russians are nice if u like the Slavic look.
Kazhak language is a bit like Turkish ISTR...Comment
