Alina thank you for your blogs. I was in Kazakhstan for the last four and a half years working as a geologist. I am based in Toronto although I come from Ireland originally and spent 22 years in Africa (Namibia, South Africa, Ghana and Mali) before coming to Canada. Thank you for your blogs which are very interesting.

I was actually hoping to, but because I was flying into Almaty (near it) and then out of Astana (far away) I decided to not do it this trip because it’d cause me to leave the country right away and then re enter. I know it probably would’ve been fine, but I just didn’t want to take a chance to miss a flight.

It is such a unique experience! You know, it's strange because I can't seem to find the answer of why it is the color it is. Overall it just says the color changes throughout the year. I assume it's because of some kind of sediment in the mountains. And yes, so nice to have a local perspective! I'll have many more amazing locals on this trip :)

Hard to keep your vege/veganism in some places. I got some very understanding waiters in Central Asia though. Astana or Nur- Sultan was much cooler. When I went to Astana as it was still called back then there weren’t many tours available and the weather didn’t help either. Now I see tons of them and many are still a bit expensive.
@AlinaMcleod
@AlinaMcleod 5 жыл бұрын
Yeah veganism in Kazakhstan restaurants is not easily understood or accessible at this point in time. The tours for English speaking people are very limited right now because there doesn't seem to be enough demand (hopefully that changes), but if you're Russian speaking (which I think the majority of their tourism is) there is plenty and for very good prices.
