Oh yeah- about staying alone after court. We both stayed but, if my husband would have left, I would have felt completely safe there. Almaty didn't seem like a dangerous place at all. There was a playground at our apartment complex and kids would be playing down there at 10pm. I'd suggest playing it safe and not going out on your own at night. Also, our translator and driver were available to take us shopping or sightseeing about every other day. You might want to ask your agency if this is available to you as well. If you're going to Almaty, I also have the name of a great translator/driver who would be happy to take you sightseeing.
