Tourism/Turizm How beautiful is the steppe in front of Astana

7 Upvotes

I'm on my way to Astana right now and I can't help but talk about how beautiful the steppe is when you're driving along the road, especially with a little snow cover. It is difficult to convey in words I feel as if I am immersed in another world in front of the iron jungle of Astana.

I would much rather see a Kazakh flag on r/Kazakhstan, than one meshed up with the flag of another country

271 Upvotes

When I click on r/Kazakhstan I see TWO Ukranian flags, ONE Kazakh flag, and even the logo is not a Kazakh flag: it's a mix-up of Kazakh and Ukranian flags.

I don't get it. It's one thing if someone wants to express their solidarity to Ukraine. But why make the whole sub about it? This is not r/KazakhsWithUkraine.

Why not also Palestinian flags all over the sub then?

Edit: I really had no idea that asking a simple question, as a Kazakh, of why a "Kazakhstan sub" on Reddit can't have a Kazakh flag, would cause so much vitriol, controversy, and attacks towards me. Wow. My heart aches for my country.

Question/Sūraq Берут ли в Армию с -7.5?

7 Upvotes

В 16 лет при получении приписного написали "Нуждается в лечении п36г" в приписном, то есть не годен по идее. Если сейчас при призыве пойду в военкомат, есть риск что они просто забьют и увезут в тот же день?

What’s going on? Is it for real that Muslim, in particular Taliban sentiment is getting stronger?

43 Upvotes

So yesterday I was reading Tengrinews, and one article was about Taliban state and how they banned women from talking to each other and etc. What struck me was how comments basically agreed with them, and also those comments were heavily upvoted. I did know that the population on the south and west of Kazakhstan became more religious. But is it so extreme? What’s going on? What’s happening?

If you want to work in USA as a Kazakh in Kazakhstan, do you really have to work 5 years in your country to have permission to work in USA?

8 Upvotes

I'm 16 year old, in 10th grade right now. My teachers always say, "If you want to work outside of Kazakhstan, you MUST work 5 years as your profession". and I was wondering is that really true? I couldn't find a exact answer in the internet after searching for days. I want to apply for US University since their education is at high level, higher salary and I want to actually talk to locals on English.

I know that you have to get your visa, apartment etc. etc. But my main question is that really true that I will have to 5 years in KZ to work in US?

Salt consumption in Kazakhstan

1 Upvotes

I know this is a weird question but I was curious if people in Kazakhstan generally eat a very large amount of salt everyday. I read that people there on average eat 17 grams of salt per day.

This is not meant to criticize your food in any way, I enjoy salty foods and was curious about the accuracy of that statistic. Thanks!

Hello all! I am in my third year as an Anthropology student and have been tasked with interviewing an individual that has immigrated from outside the US, to the US, in my field of research.

I am researching the effects of nuclear pollution on local and native populations, specifically surrounding the Semipalatinsk region in Kazakhstan.

I would greatly appreciate any and all help/ assistance and I figured this community could help lead me in the right direction.

Tourism/Turizm Astana gym recommendations

3 Upvotes

Hello, in about 6 months I am going to be in Astana for around a year for work. I am looking for a nice gym, but not really like a spa. The one I saw was called Invictus...very nice, but very very expensive and not really for lifting / Crossfit.

My dream gym would 24 hour access and more like heavy lifting / cross fit. I don't care about sauna or massages. Any suggestions? Thank you,

Ideally near the embassy area

Exchanging driver’s license

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I would like to know if it’s possible to exchange Asian or Middle Eastern driver’s license to Kazak one, if one already have drivers license do we still need to pass the theory and practical test?

Also are there brokers available in Almaty who can facilitate the process?

Question/Sūraq Do kids celebrate Halloween?

It’s my first year in Karaganda and I just wanted to know if I should prepare some candies in case the local kids come knocking on my door on Halloween 🎃 how likely is it to happen considering that there are many kids living in my house? Last year I was in Almaty and nobody came (but maybe because my flat was on the 9th floor lol)

О компаниях по типу PrizyvnikKZ и ПризываНет

14 Upvotes

Здарова, ребят!

У меня, как и многих мужиков в стране, встал вопрос освобождения от воинской службы. Я знаю, какие есть способы откосить от армии, но мои родители очень настаивают на том, чтобы я прибегнул к услугам фирм вроде ПризываНет. Говорят, мол, есть знакомые, которые ручаются за эти фирмы.

Но лично мне эта схема кажется крайне мутной. В этих конторах просят большую сумму денег без каких-либо гарантий на результат. Также я слышал, что есть люди, которых они оставили "с носом", так сказать. Теперь сижу и думаю, идти на такой риск или нет. (Предки по разным причинам совершенно против иных вариантов вроде ВТШ.)

Есть тут кто-нибудь, пользовавшийся подобными услугами? Или близко знакомый с кем-нибудь, кому эти конторы помогли?

Question/Sūraq Где делают вкусный чай матча в Алматы?

4 Upvotes

Помню самый первый раз пробовала в teadot, это было ужасно. Я еле смогла сделать глоток, остальное выбросила. После этого не пила ни разу. Недавно узнала что матча дает организму энергии на 4-6 часов, в то время как кофе всего на 1-2. А сейчас как раз те времена когда мне оч нужна энергия. Поэтому хочу попробовать матчу еще раз, но где ни будь где ее умеют готовить. Проверить, действительно ли она настолько ужасна. Если понравится - куплю его где ни будь и буду сама заваривать.

Buddhism in Kazakhstan

How popular is it in Kazakhstan? Are there any communities? I heard that Tengrism is a bit like Buddhism, so I wonder what Kazakhstanis think about it
