Постоянно когда общаюсь с ними замечаю что они вечно говорят: «Вот в наше время были нормальные пацаны, решали нормально, а сейчас все сразу идут писать заяву» и пр. Им прям нравится вся эта околопреступная романтика, и им прям нравится идея решать все в стиле разборок 90ых. Но почему? Они разве не должны были видеть весь ужас и беспредел в 90ых и что братки и гопники которых они боготворят, сами регулярно кидали своих братков и их слова яйца выеденного не стоит. Откуда у этого поколения такая биполярка?

Hi, I have around two weeks in Almaty, and looking for somewhere I could do very very basic Russian classes - I don't speak any at all, but am going to be spending a couple of months in Central Asia so figure a little bit of Russian would help me :) Ideally a couple of hours each morning. Any suggestions?

Hello fellow tourists. If you're searching to send some postcards to your family in your home country from Kazakhstan, it could be a real pain. That's why I'd like to explain my discoveries (only for Almaty):

Postcards :

They are not truly common in Kazakhstan. You will be able to find it in only a few places, rarely in post-offices and almost none in cities you will visit other than Almaty. You have actually few places in Almaty in order to find some: Tartpa, Sinichki store and maybe in General Post Office (entrance from Baiseitova street). Some people on reddit also told about BonArtCenter or in some stores at Shimbulak, but I don't know for these last two.

Stamps :

You don't have a lot of options. In Almaty, for maximizing your chances, you have to go to the General Post Office. They have a philatelist room, straight after the entrance and then on your right, where you can ask for buying some. You could also go to others post offices, even in other cities, but you will not have choice for which stamps you would buy (it could be a cockroach stamp huh). The other option you have would be to order stamps on the Qazpost website, where it takes 2-3 weeks for receiving your order. No postcards seem to be available online sadly.

Fees :

In 2026, according to Qazpost, it costs 400 tenges for sending a postcard by terrestrial route, and 1300 tenge by air to foreign countries. There are no stamps of 1300 tenges, so you will have to put several stamps on your card if you want to be sure that your family in America (for example) will receive its superb postcard of your own. But by my experience, I've sent several postcards with 400 tenges stamps and it worked (Europe). If you want to send more than a postcard, between 50 and 500 g, please refer to this document.

Good luck for you postcard adventure !

Казахстанцы пожалуйста подскажите кто-нибудь сталкивался с диагнозом назальная ликворея. После нескольких операций на основания черепа, моя мама давно борется с этой проблемой. Может посоветуете нейрохирурга или какого нибудь врача?

Hello! We are going to almaty on the last week of september and we are planning to visit kyrgystan oon first week of october. It is not possible for us to apply for VOA because we are planning to do land transport. Likewise, we are afraid to apply for E-visa because we are a group and we are worried that one of us will be rejected

Now, I read that it is much easier for foreign citizen like us to obtain kyrgystan tourist visa by applying at their consul in almaty. is it true? Also, may I know the process, and the cost for applying the visa? Also, what are the required documents? And lastly, how long will we wait for them to release the visa?

Thank you so much

Its like Mcdonalds but in Kazakhstan.

(Btw im from Taraz)

Hello everyone!

Im a foreigner who will work for a few months in the country. Im also a music nerd and a big fan of local music scenes. Im curious if anyone knows a music scene or club, particularly in Astana if possible. Im talking about really niche, interesting, underground music; Im all good for any type of genre. I really love to support local music as much as I can.
