First impressions of ALMATY, KAZAKHSTAN 🇰🇿 We didn’t expect Kazakhstan to be like this!

Қош келдіңдер, жақсы демалыс тілеймін!

[@AshAndDan.]

Thank you ☺️

[@buzzzzombie]

You're welcome, guys! Have you visited our mountains already?

[@AshAndDan.]

Thank you 😄 we have visited them already yes, vlogs still to come but wow it’s so beautiful 😍

[@buzzzzombie]

@@AshAndDan. glad to hear that, much love!

[@winterbalm]

Almaty is a beautiful city it’s like my second home

[@AshAndDan.]

It’s such an amazing city! We loved it, had no idea what to expect but it was awesome! 😄

[@winterbalm]

@@AshAndDan. it reminds me if my childhood because it has some beautiful Soviet architecture and it has so many trees

[@RakhatAssylbek]

Welcome to Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 ❤

[@AshAndDan.]

Thank you 😄 we loved it here!

[@prostoname5338]

Pickled snacks you had is a traditional food of local Korean diaspora. And Lagman is a traditional Dungan and Uyghur food, so it has lots of Chinese influence. Almaty is almost as diverse as Big UK cities. People love Baikonur station because it’s kinda styalized to look like space station, that’s why it’s so plain. I personally like Moscow station, And Mukhtar Auezov station, one is super deep, and another is a homage to Moscow. Hope you will enjoy your stay.

[@AshAndDan.]

We absolutely LOVE lagman! So yummy! I think we personally preferred Almaty to many UK cities we have been to, it's such a cool place. Interesting about Baikonur station based on a space station and quite cool. Mukhtar Auezov station was our favourite (we visit this one on the next vlog) It's super impressive design and so grand. Thank you for watching and thanks for the interesting info 😄

[@EasyKazakh]

The last station is Baikonur station, it was made in high-tech design with TV projections of space. It was made to pay homage to Baikonur Kosmodrome.

[@EasyKazakh]

Every station's name and design have their meaning. For example, the first one was Zhibek Zholy, which in Kazakh means Silk Road. And you saw some illustrations of it on the walls.

[@AshAndDan.]

Thank you for telling us the reason for it, we didn't realise this! Makes a bit more sense now. Our favourite station is the Auezov Theatre station (we visit in our most recent vlog) very grand!

[@sauleA001KZ]

It local korean salats. Korean people was deported to Kazakhstan many years ago. Kazakhstan people help for all nation who was deported to Kazakhstan. In Kazakhstan more than 130 nation, but for foreign they are all kazakh

[@ruzaikaruzain]

Cant wait for more Almaty videos!

[@AshAndDan.]

Yay! we have more to come! Glad you enjoyed 😄

[@sherkesh]

lol this is fun! I’ve did my masters in Aberdeen nice to see you guys, welcome to Kazakhstan!

[@AshAndDan.]

Ah cool! Hope you liked Aberdeen as much as we liked Almaty! 😄

[@Suntreecity]

Wish you good luck both of you Ash and Dan, You have given me very good memories of this country as I have been to Kazakhstan, Please try to go to Uzbekistan too, and other central Asian countries as well, obviously, if you can. Mind you Dan you are looking very good in your Beared style, I will try to copy your Beared style.

[@AshAndDan.]

Thank you! ☺️ ah that’s good to hear! We do have a few more of the central Asian countries to visit after Kazakhstan so we will show these also. Haha thank you 🧔‍♂️

Fantastic Again ❤

[@AshAndDan.]

Thank you 😁 lots more Kazakhstan adventures to come!

[@yanaakhmajanova8154]

The first salads you tried are local Korean cuisine. And as for calamari ones it was a beef stomach😁. I’m Korean who raised and born in Kazakhstan, so our traditional Korean food is completely different than South Korean one so that’s why you didn’t noticed. Next time if you come to Kazakhstan I’d love to show you the prettiest and tastiest places😁

[@AshAndDan.]

Oh wow! We had no clue that it was beef stomach, thank you for telling us 😊 we haven’t visited South Korea yet so we don’t really know much about their cuisine but thank you for the info! 😄❤️ thank you that would be nice

“Zhibek zholy” is translated as a Silk Road, that’s why metro station is decorated the same thematic

Hey guys, welcome to my hometown! Baikonur subway station is the only one that styled in a cosmic theme, I guess you know why. The others are related to a different cultural aspects like the Silk Road, kazakh famous literature, philosophers etc. Best regards

[@AshAndDan.]

Thanks for the info 😄 Yes we found it super interesting and they were very impressive! At the time we didn’t realise what Baikonur was based on however now it makes sense 👍

[@misarabage1359]

green bazaar is a fresh market in the city and defintely not the biggest one in almaty

I've been following you like the eye of God followed Caine across the desert. So you better watch it. you two. Just kidding. Awesome. vlog. Enjoyed it. I must visit this place. at least. for tasting some horse meat. I wonder if this huge. metro station could double. as a shelter of some kind, In the communist era, like for example. from a nuclear blast.
