In the movie Borat there is nothing in common except the name of the country. The directors who made the movie thought it was funny to take the name of an existing country. There is not a single Kazakh in this movie and the movie was not filmed in Kazakhstan.

Shymkent is a vibrant city in southern Kazakhstan, known for its rich culture and lively atmosphere. It’s one of the country’s oldest cities, blending modern development with historic charm. The people here are incredibly warm and hospitable, and you’ll always find a sense of community in its bustling bazaars and cozy teahouses. The local cuisine is a highlight - traditional Kazakh dishes like beshbarmak and plov are must-tries! With its green parks, historical landmarks, and proximity to stunning natural landscapes like Sayram-Ugam National Park, Shymkent is a city full of energy and diversity.

В детстве мы тоже не понимали: зачем красят известкой стволы деревьев? Нам объясняли, что это защита деревьев от насекомых, жуков-короедов. Это написано в советских книгах по садоводству. На некоторых деревьях можно наблюдать, как караван муравьев поднимается на дерево налегке, а спускаются с дерева, держа в челюсти маленькие кусочки чего-то съедобного. Известка им (муравьям) не мешает. Этот неутомимый, непрерывный труд муравьев завораживает.
