In Kazakhstan there are two types of horse meat: for racing and specifically for food. and I’ll tell you horse meat is the most environmentally friendly meat. our horses graze in the steppes, eat wormwood and are not sick with chemicals.

      Almaty: A City of Contracts
      Almaty, a captivating blend of Eastern charm and Western modernity, presents a city of striking contrasts. Its stunning mountain backdrop, lush parks, and vibrant cultural scene make it a tourist's paradise. However, beneath this alluring facade lies a complex reality marred by the insidious presence of corruption.
      The city's opulent buildings and luxury cars stand in stark contrast to the impoverished neighborhoods that dot its outskirts. While international investors are drawn to its economic potential, local businesses often find themselves entangled in bureaucratic red tape and demands for bribes.
      Despite the challenges posed by corruption, Almaty's spirit remains resilient. Its people, known for their warmth and hospitality, continue to strive for a better future. A growing civil society is emerging, with activists and organizations working tirelessly to combat corruption and promote transparency.
      Almaty's journey towards a brighter future will undoubtedly be arduous, but the city's inherent beauty and the determination of its people offer hope for a day when corruption is a relic of the past.
      Would you like to explore a specific aspect of Almaty or corruption in more detail?

    I am an Almaty citizen since birth. But currently I live in the states. Have lived in couple of different continents and traveled a bit… I can proudly say Almaty is one of the most convenient cities in the world as well as one of the most beautiful. It definitely has its own backsides but in general it’s good place to live and have family.
    I appreciate your openness and kindness Douglas, willingness to try horse meat and live in yurt.
    However, there is one suggestion, I wish you would learn 2-3 important words in kazakh: as thank you, good buy and hello and not reply in russian. As respect to our culture and language we try to speak in kazakh with kazakh person, especially when you greet elderly. It is considered rude to reply in russian when older person speaks to you in kazakh. Just a small notice. I assume if you an experienced traveler, you know it is nice to learn couple of local words it’s not gonna hurt. Thanks

    As local person I have to warn extreme hikers or travellers to take precautions in the mountains or steppes. It would be better to plan extreme travelling with someone experienced.
    All warnings (winds, hard rains etc) to mobiles are made in Kazakh and Russian languages, not in English.
    Except for possible harsh weather conditions foreign tourists in the steppe or desert often misjudge the huge distances between housings.

    1:17 girl gave inaccurate information about the origin of the word "Almaty". The city’s original name was "Almaty" which literally means "the place where the apple tree grows" in Kazakh. In 1921, the Bolsheviks/Russians changed the name to "Alma-Ata" which in Russian can be interpreted as "Father of Apples" although this is not the correct Kazakh meaning. The Kazakh language has its own characteristics, and "Alma-Ata" is not a correct translation from Kazakh. The proper name "Almaty" corresponds to the grammatical and phonetic norms of the Kazakh language.
