00:02:24
went to the the Grand Canyon of
00:02:26
Kazakhstan yesterday absolutely
00:02:28
beautiful landscape watching the sunet
00:02:31
and like you got some amazing outdoor
00:02:33
opportunities here for hiking in the
00:02:35
national parks wasn't it cold here
00:02:37
because as I've heard uh during the
00:02:40
Autumn during the fall time it's pretty
00:02:42
cold so no such thing as bad weather
00:02:45
just bad clothing
00:02:48
choices Elma what do you think uh it's
00:02:50
the same we went to the second largest
00:02:53
canyon in the world so it was amazing
00:02:55
unfortunately we wanted like to discover
00:02:58
and explore the lake CU we we've heard a
00:03:01
lot about it but we couldn't make it
00:03:03
unfortunately yeah it it was too darker
00:03:06
so yeah but did you guys like so far
00:03:09
search before coming here to Kazakhstan
00:03:12
like as soon as you got the invitation
00:03:14
to you guys maybe you've heard have you
00:03:17
ever heard about something about KAS
00:03:18
before us I think he off first he off
00:03:21
first time here and we actually told our
00:03:23
friends that we are coming here and they
00:03:25
told us wow it's a very exotic place yes
00:03:27
absolutely they very like oh wow we went
00:03:30
online to actually this do some research
00:03:31
and we found like lot of scenery
00:03:34
landscape mountains like rivers and
00:03:36
really beautiful and then that's why we
00:03:38
are here to explore more that's amazing
00:03:40
in fact we flew in
00:03:42
earlier October yeah just to explore
00:03:45
this uh place on our own and we actually
00:03:47
went to like a first president Park
00:03:49
which is not in the schedule at all
00:03:51
amazing very beautiful it's very
00:03:53
instagramable as well that's cool yeah
00:03:55
and we also met very friendly locals
00:03:57
here who actually brought us to like to
00:03:59
the best spot to see the mountain views
00:04:02
because we are first time there and then
00:04:03
the park was very big and uh there's so
00:04:05
much photos and videos opportunity and
00:04:07
then we were like lost and then we say
00:04:09
where where can we find the best
00:04:10
Mountain views and then the L follow she
00:04:14
was Russian right 13 years old only 13
00:04:16
years old and she brought us to the to
00:04:18
the best sport for the best view and she
00:04:21
even asked us to dance a Russian dance
00:04:23
she us how for me yeah for me like I
00:04:26
told you I've graduated from Istanbul so
00:04:29
I had a lot of kazakhstani friends and
00:04:32
also the embassy of kazakstan in Doha
00:04:34
he's a good friend of mine he's the one
00:04:37
who invited me to explore this beautiful
00:04:40
country so yeah I didn't hit it like to
00:04:43
give it a try and I like it soaz for all
00:04:46
unfortunately in the UK we we know the
00:04:48
movie Borat so we actually know what the
00:04:51
Kazakhstan flag looks like um but it's a
00:04:54
shame that most of it was filmed in
00:04:55
Romania and none of it is actually
00:04:57
Kazakhstan so I've heard a lot about the
00:04:59
Advent products the great hiking and
00:05:01
Outdoors and the fact you hosted The
00:05:02
Nomad games this year moved from Kyan to
00:05:05
Kazakhstan so that's great we met the
00:05:07
Nomad Community yesterday fascinating
00:05:10
living in the Ys and how they live here
00:05:12
so that was great to learn about the
00:05:13
Nomad community in Kazakhstan this is
00:05:15
the first question we ask every guest on
00:05:17
our show on our podcast like you
00:05:19
probably searched about Kazakhstan and
00:05:21
then you probably got the images from
00:05:23
Borat uh then what kind of like uh
00:05:26
stereotypes were shaking in your head uh
00:05:30
while coming here while seeing all this
00:05:33
like what's the first impression by the
00:05:35
way did you have a chance to walk inside
00:05:37
the city like the city tour or yeah we
00:05:39
did a city we did a city the first day
00:05:42
but it's not it wasn't that much okay as
00:05:44
I explained my my English is not perfect
00:05:46
I I prefer to speak in
00:05:53
French the same Skyline uh with the
00:05:56
mountains and snow uh
00:06:05
C
00:06:29
kak yeah amazing I have one more
00:06:32
question though as a local you know
00:06:34
being a local here and then we all
00:06:36
always see that foreigners they find
00:06:39
something beautiful inside the city and
00:06:41
then all this you know like modern
00:06:43
postmodern or Soviet style buildings
00:06:46
architecture it looks something unique
00:06:50
as something unique and then for us for
00:06:52
locals it doesn't really impress us
00:06:54
because well that's you get used to
00:06:57
it foreigners
00:07:02
find what do
00:07:04
youque it like as being a
00:07:07
foreigner you came like from different
00:07:10
culture different background different
00:07:12
perspective so that's why when you visit
00:07:15
a country or a culture for the first
00:07:17
time everything is like feeling so
00:07:20
unique and has their own touch so for me
00:07:23
I didn't found it that much unique story
00:07:26
for cuz it's I I I get used to it
00:07:30
especially I I had like traveled a lot
00:07:33
so it's um it's a it's like uh they they
00:07:37
have some touch with the Russian
00:07:40
architecture have you ever been to
00:07:41
Russia before uh I didn't but I have a
00:07:44
lot of Russian friends oh okay yeah so
00:07:47
uh I I write about Russian architecture
00:07:50
before so yeah how would you compare
00:07:52
maybe with other countries are there any
00:07:54
similarities between kazakhstan's
00:07:56
architecture with any other countries
00:07:58
you've been before Dave as a as from
00:08:01
your own experience maybe uh I I can't
00:08:04
think off the top of my head now any
00:08:06
ideas for example in you've been in
00:08:08
Istanbul yeah yeah in Istanbul there is
00:08:10
a area called jangar jangar is the the
00:08:13
architecture there it's like a Russian
00:08:17
Russian architect so it's too similar we
00:08:20
went to the park 20 28
00:08:23
Park exactly and there was a a house
00:08:27
with the wood it's the same architecture
00:08:29
in Jian that's why I I interesting
00:08:32
that's like interesting for I think
00:08:33
that's Museum nowadays like traditional
00:08:35
musical instruments of cast yeah and
00:08:37
it's also a center of Poli or something
00:08:39
yeah the one with the wood yeah
00:08:41
absolutely and the church is also very
00:08:43
beautiful yeah it is it is the church is
00:08:45
like pretty over right
00:08:48
1907 197 or something like that also
00:08:52
second largest wood Church in the world
00:08:54
right
00:08:57
iess I was impressed right yeah you guys
00:09:00
like from Singapore and then for us from
00:09:02
kazakhstani people it's it's considered
00:09:05
as a as you just said exotic country no
00:09:08
to visit to go because a lot of our
00:09:10
people they they usually prefer to go to
00:09:11
Dubai they go to Istanbul Turkey but
00:09:15
never go to Singapore Thailand or
00:09:17
Malaysia or like okay so what's your um
00:09:21
how different it is how different when
00:09:23
you came climate climate difference
00:09:25
climate difference it's like we don't
00:09:27
have uh uh the Four Seasons M yeah it's
00:09:30
always like you know sunny or rainy yeah
00:09:33
yeah and Singapore is filled with a lot
00:09:35
of tall buildings even like our um like
00:09:39
uh how say hdb concrete buildings that
00:09:41
is like super tall unlike here where by
00:09:43
the buildings are like a little bit
00:09:45
lower and they can see more Skies
00:09:47
correct yeah and our because our uh
00:09:49
Singapore right our land is like very
00:09:51
scar yeah so it's like just a very small
00:09:55
place compared to small country compared
00:09:57
to kistan
00:10:12
yeah when you have all those skyscrapers
00:10:14
in Singapore and I'm I'm aware that
00:10:16
Singapore is pretty modern right if you
00:10:19
ever been to aana uh our capital A lot
00:10:22
of people say that uh aana is uh you
00:10:25
know going with the with the same style
00:10:28
of Singapore
00:10:30
style well it's allowed to build tall
00:10:34
buildings there in aana due to because
00:10:37
in Alat it's earthquake risks and so on
00:10:40
so forth that's one of the reasons it's
00:10:42
not allowed uh but when you come to a
00:10:46
city like alate or maybe where the
00:10:50
buildings are not that tall uh how do
00:10:52
you feel yourself cuz I've heard a lot
00:10:54
of things that Alma has a lot of green
00:10:57
you know yeah correct a bit similar to
00:11:00
like Singapore where we have a lot of
00:11:01
trees around and but just that uh
00:11:04
because uh our land is yeah so all the
00:11:06
buildings are like pack packed to uh
00:11:09
like close to each other compared to
00:11:10
here whereby it's like more widespread
00:11:12
yeah one thing I um observe about am is
00:11:15
that um the road are very uh smooth and
00:11:18
it's like Singapore maintain yeah very
00:11:20
well maintained smooth and then you
00:11:21
never find like a like a crack hole hole
00:11:25
on the along the pavement so I think the
00:11:27
government did a good job in maintaining
00:11:29
the
00:11:31
[Music]
00:11:32
to uh I've been to couple times and then
00:11:36
you know this narrow roads of a stumble
00:11:40
like it's crazy like transport it's not
00:11:42
a place for transport it's not it's not
00:11:44
a place for your personal uh cars or
00:11:47
something because it's really hard uh
00:11:49
here it's pretty white yes it's too huge
00:11:54
like that's true um could you uh share
00:11:58
about your EXP experience maybe in
00:12:01
Morocco I mean I've never been to
00:12:02
Morocco I've been to you're welcome
00:12:04
Algeria though you have to Country I've
00:12:08
seen a lot of photos and images of
00:12:10
Casablanca and then uh maresh and rabad
00:12:14
North T yeah could you share us your uh
00:12:18
views towards are there any similarities
00:12:21
between Kazakhstan and maybe Morocco
00:12:23
because Kazakhstan is kindly considered
00:12:26
as the Eastern country mhm like Eastern
00:12:30
mentality and stuff you know so then
00:12:32
well majority are Muslims also uh are
00:12:35
there any similarities between Morocco
00:12:37
and kakhan
00:12:38
Mos there
00:12:58
yes MH
00:13:58
if
00:14:01
amazing amazing I have one more question
00:14:04
uh I think the most important question
00:14:05
is about
00:14:07
cuisine food did you have a chance to
00:14:10
try our local food yes we did what did
00:14:13
you like the most what's the I love the
00:14:15
soups soup I've been eating a lot of
00:14:17
soups chicken noodle soup dumpling soup
00:14:20
love the soups and the the um kazak
00:14:23
restaurant we went to on the first day
00:14:25
was fantastic that was really good we
00:14:27
could really try all the the horse meal
00:14:29
and the the meats and the a variety of
00:14:32
kazak dishes that was a good
00:14:33
introduction that was amazing I mean uh
00:14:36
you know to be honest with you the kazak
00:14:38
cuisine itself I mean as a as a part of
00:14:41
a tourism destination have developed has
00:14:44
been developed only like for 5 years for
00:14:46
the last 5 years because a lot of
00:14:48
foreigners who used to come here they
00:14:50
were always complaining about there is
00:14:51
no authentic place to go and to try
00:14:54
kazak food but then uh in The Last 5
00:14:57
Years it's been developing like super
00:14:59
fast this uh destination I'm saying and
00:15:02
then a lot of kazak restaurants were
00:15:04
opened were released and then nowadays
00:15:08
tourists foreigners they don't have
00:15:10
problem tasting real kazak authentic
00:15:12
traditional food so that's
00:15:20
[Music]
00:15:27
great okay mhm bread uh bread kazak
00:15:32
bread uh shash shash yes we it is it's
00:15:36
very tasty uh have you tried barmak
00:15:39
already the the meat and the horse meat
00:15:43
the horse meat you tried it wait I think
00:15:46
I I didn't yeah horse meat horse sausage
00:15:49
yeah we St the grill grill horse meat
00:15:53
too is that is that like considered a
00:15:55
regular thing in your country no of
00:15:58
course not no me in Singapore all right
00:16:01
I was trying yeah first time we are
00:16:03
trying it and then I was thinking like
00:16:04
to bring back to Singapore to let my
00:16:06
friends try because I saw there like can
00:16:08
HSE meat can one then I thought I can
00:16:10
bring back then I went Google and uh
00:16:12
Singapore is not all to bring back meat
00:16:15
that's interesting for
00:16:17
me I think you missed the chance like I
00:16:20
missed it and I don't want to try to be
00:16:21
honest cuz I'm still no wait I'm I'm too
00:16:25
into horses I I do horse riding so for
00:16:29
me to try something like this I'm like
00:16:31
no
00:16:33
for no it's not for me but yeah it's a
00:16:36
good thing and also they they they had
00:16:38
like horse milk milk we tried it you we
00:16:41
tried they say there like 1% alcohol you
00:16:43
don't need to kill the horse for oh my
00:16:46
God I I can't even like think about it
00:16:51

00:16:53
takeway box and at it later I Lov it
00:16:56
yeah it was great and they came with a
00:16:57
big plate of course oh my
00:17:12
God for me personal I I love horses I I
00:17:17
I worked eight years with horses and uh
00:17:21
we're in the same page
00:17:39
I have a question since you have a Bigg
00:17:41
experience traveling and visiting other
00:17:43
countries uh I've heard about that
00:17:46
nowadays horse mid is being exported to
00:17:48
some European countries in some medical
00:17:51
purposes have you heard about that no or
00:17:54
as as a person as maybe you you visited
00:17:57
Germany or any other countries and then
00:17:59
the horse milk as well have been
00:18:01
transported and exported to Germany and
00:18:03
some medical purposes like in order to
00:18:06
strengthen your immune system and kind
00:18:08
of things so if you ever heard about
00:18:11
that I mean
00:18:15
only
00:18:19
milk
00:18:21
SK it's kind of pretty it might be
00:18:23
similar but the donkey one not the horse
00:18:25
one for the skin care like they have
00:18:28
their only their own saon and oil and
00:18:31
stuff yeah and it's good for the skin by
00:18:33
the way wow it's very expensive and it's
00:18:36
expensive yeah cool that's cool yeah
00:18:39
pretty exotic though it's too known in
00:18:41
in in Turkey they uh they export from
00:18:44
the
00:18:44
[Music]
00:18:45
Morocco good uh so uh in general like uh
00:18:50
what would you like to share about maybe
00:18:52
you know during any trip during any trip
00:18:55
there might be some uh difficulties and
00:18:58
anyway right related to the
00:19:01
transportation related to maybe people
00:19:04
right uh some people some foreigners say
00:19:07
that kazak people are pretty cold you
00:19:10
know like in mentality they don't smile
00:19:12
a lot they are like pretty reserved and
00:19:16
closed uh what do you think about it
00:19:18
have you had a chance to communicate
00:19:20

yes
00:20:33
absolutely with uh with the multiple
00:20:36
languages right not only English but
00:20:38
then I also like once uh said about this
00:20:42
initiative to the alma visit and others
00:20:45
to improve uh languages right the scale
00:20:48
of languages that we have because a lot
00:20:50
of people suffer uh there's only like in
00:20:53
English and then I also try to tell them
00:20:57
that you probably have to uh put some
00:21:00
Chinese language
00:21:02
and comfortable especially at restaurant
00:21:05
I think menus like if let's say they
00:21:07
have English menu would exact but we use
00:21:10
Google Lens to
00:21:12
translate yeah true Dave and I I've come
00:21:16
in the wrong season I want to come back
00:21:18
with my skis for sure the skiing looks
00:21:21
amazing here and I think Prince Harry's
00:21:22
been skiing here right so it's known as
00:21:25
a very popular ski and when we saw the
00:21:27
slopes I was like oh there's no snow but
00:21:29
I would have loved to gone down the
00:21:30
slopes so you should definitely come
00:21:32
back during December or uh February
00:21:36
January that's that's the greatest
00:21:37
season here or skiing yeah a lot of
00:21:39
people come here and then it's
00:21:41
comparatively uh you know not that
00:21:44
expensive yeah it's pretty affordable
00:21:46
for forers to come
00:21:49
and uhhuh any other difficulties what
00:21:52
about people we're still touching upon
00:21:54
the people actually we had a very great
00:21:56
experience with uh
00:22:00
yeah because I think the reason why a
00:22:01
lot of people feel that Kazan people
00:22:03
might feel a little bit cold is because
00:22:04
of the language barrier but you know if
00:22:07
let say somebody can speak English right
00:22:08
like the the gentleman that we met in
00:22:10
one of the restaurants uh he actually
00:22:12
show us how to download the uh
00:22:14
Transportation app where I can book
00:22:16
taxis yeah and he also uh uh told us
00:22:19
like what are the National Cuisine to
00:22:22
order yeah and he even offered like oh
00:22:24
you know in say you guys are free right
00:22:26
you know uh just call me and then we can
00:22:27
go k amazing he offered a service to to
00:22:31
bring us around to show us a place and
00:22:33
she he even offered us a how he treat us
00:22:35
to a dish he bought a dish I was like
00:22:38
it's like first time meeting and then he
00:22:39
treat us to a dish I was like wow this
00:22:41
guy is really hospitable yeah they're
00:22:45
saying like a lot of people say if you
00:22:47
become a good friend with kazak people
00:22:49
with kazak person then that friendship
00:22:51
is going to last for a long time like
00:22:53
like it's a true friendship the same
00:22:55
thing people say about Russian people
00:22:56
like at the first glance that may be
00:22:59
kind of cold
00:23:00
uh thing uh attitude towards you but as
00:23:04
soon as you become close friend corre
00:23:06
that's last for for a long time so
00:23:08
that's true yeah thank you it's our
00:23:11
pleasure uh what about uh since you guys
00:23:15
been traveling throughout the world uh
00:23:18
you visited a lot of countries uh I'd
00:23:20
like to hear about some World Trends you
00:23:23
know maybe some things that Kazakhstan
00:23:26
should pay attention to in the world
00:23:29
like some things uh that we have to you
00:23:32
know get to ourselves and try to improve
00:23:34
it try to develop it would you like to
00:23:36
note I think the transportation because
00:23:38
in Singapore in uh Thailand and some in
00:23:42
Japan as well we have the trains or we
00:23:44
call in Singapore it's called MRT yeah
00:23:46
here it's I think it's only just like
00:23:48
buses as well as uh if you book uh we
00:23:52
taxi to the app so Tech uh so trains
00:23:55
right it's actually faster to get from
00:23:57
one place to another place it's not
00:23:58
accessible public
00:24:00
transportation Transportation also the
00:24:04
thing that we' talked about for the
00:24:06
language when you go to a restaurant or
00:24:09
something they only have the menu in
00:24:11
Russian or kazakistan so it's too
00:24:14
difficult for the tourist but yeah we
00:24:16
managed it thank God it was a GU with us
00:24:20
so yeah what do you think about uh in my
00:24:22
personal opinion language is a good
00:24:24
thing absolutely but sometimes I also
00:24:27
think that uh well I'm a polya myself
00:24:29
and I speak like multiple languages and
00:24:32
then you know sometimes when I visit
00:24:34
another country for example France well
00:24:36
I've been to France a couple of times
00:24:37
and then in order to dive deeper into
00:24:39
this mentality and culture sometimes
00:24:42
it's maybe even better that they don't
00:24:45
have English you know like to fill to
00:24:48
get into this atmosphere fully uh what
00:24:51
do you think about it like have you ever
00:24:53
thought about it maybe but how you going
00:24:56
to deal with with them corre the
00:24:59
understanding that's yeah if you don't
00:25:03
understand how you going to deal with
00:25:05
them I usually just learn a
00:25:07
language people just prefer learning a
00:25:10
local language especially with fresh
00:25:11
people like they're absolutely yeah
00:25:14
they're not easy to deal with
00:25:29
the real life of
00:25:57
kakan for
00:26:39
great so yeah absolutely I absolutely
00:26:41
agree that we have to improve our
00:26:43
language uh hear uh you know a lot of
00:26:46
people still say that Kazakhstan isn't
00:26:49
the most English friendly country like
00:26:50
English speaking friendly country uh but
00:26:54
we're working on it uh hopefully the
00:26:56
younger generation nowaday uh they are
00:26:58
trying to do their best trying to learn
00:27:01
the language and then welcoming others
00:27:02
and for and then as you might
00:27:06
notice uh Kazakhstan is becoming more
00:27:09
popular uh currently uh as a t tourism
00:27:13
destination for tourists due to you guys
00:27:16
like also uh talking and sharing about
00:27:20
Kazakhstan because I think in the last
00:27:23
year uh some uh very influential people
00:27:27
from Arab countries they have visited
00:27:29
Kazakhstan once and those videos were on
00:27:33
Tik Tok like you know like they they've
00:27:35
been going to Kai and the the the
00:27:39
Lakes View and then we had a the
00:27:43
majority of tourists nowadays they are
00:27:45
coming from these Gulf countries you
00:27:47
know like Qatar
00:27:50
Dubai U due to just some the power of
00:27:54
social media yeah the power of social
00:27:55
media when you went vant yeah you got
00:27:59
this that's why we rely on you
00:28:03
guys that's true that's true so uh what
00:28:06
are your expectations uh from further uh
00:28:10
do you have any plans to come back to
00:28:11
Kazakhstan maybe uh and when once you
00:28:15
come back what do you want to visit
00:28:19
anything else maybe some other
00:28:21
preferences in the
00:28:24
future for me absolutely it's going to
00:28:26
be the lake that we miss yesterday yeah
00:28:30
I saw the videos and the pictures of it
00:28:32
it was amazing why did you miss it by
00:28:34
the way was it any because it's too late
00:28:37
Sunset and it's dark it was to darker
00:28:39
well it's pretty far also to go exactly
00:28:42
correct yeah
00:29:15
Turkish Airlines
00:29:28
going absolutely yeah guys what do you
00:29:31
do you plan any plans to come back
00:29:33
actually have a suggestion because we
00:29:35
need direct flight from Singapore to
00:29:38
yeah that would be correct because we
00:29:39
took Transit flight over here we spend
00:29:41
about like 12 hours yeah so that we best
00:29:44
you know then that will encourage more
00:29:46
people come come over here absolutely
00:29:48
yeah that's true Dave you got some great
00:29:52
outdoors and I'd love to go hiking so do
00:29:54
some of the trails come back and check
00:29:56
out some of your beautiful nature that
00:29:58
I've only had a little tap has tasted of
00:30:00
so uh and uh yeah hopefully when the the
00:30:03
lighting is a bit more longer longer
00:30:05
days and then stay with the Nomad
00:30:07
communities in the Ys and get out into
00:30:09
the beautiful
00:30:11
country yeah and I also my suggestion
00:30:14
would be if you are going to come back
00:30:17
any soon or by any chance uh try to
00:30:20
visit the cultural uh Capital which is
00:30:24
turkistan which is located on the uh
00:30:27
South part of kazak
00:30:28
and you know it's been developing super
00:30:30
fast like Last 5 Years and then if you
00:30:33
go there you can like dive deeper into
00:30:35
this 19th century 18th century of kazak
00:30:38
you know well it's pretty uh it's called
00:30:42
like the the capital of
00:30:44
Turk uh
00:30:47
Nations yeah a lot of turkey people
00:30:49
Turkish people come there because
00:30:52
thewi uh one of the influential like
00:30:55
philosophers at that at the time buried
00:30:58
there and then a lot of people come
00:31:00
there they gather so they speak Turkish
00:31:02
as well uh there are a lot of Turkish
00:31:03
people I'm not sure if they speak
00:31:05
Turkish there's a lot of Kaz like speak
00:31:08
Turkish at least understand
00:31:40
yeah cic music cic industry is another
00:31:44
interesting thing that you can also try
00:31:46
yeah and of course our Capital aana uh
00:31:49
if you're going to have chance try to
00:31:50
visit aana you can definitely compare
00:31:53
the difference between aana and almati
00:31:55
and see this difference you it's more
00:31:57
called than Al it's colder but it's you
00:32:00
know it's cleaner it's newer it's more
00:32:04
modern and people are different there
00:32:07
you can see it at first glance you know
00:32:10
different in what sense in what sense um
00:32:12
because it's capital I mean as you were
00:32:15
came from Turkey I can say there was
00:32:17
people of anara and then people
00:32:20
of absolutely Al people of R and
00:32:25
Kaz it's more formal it's more
00:32:28
official it's more like business
00:32:32
suit a lot of events uh happen there too
00:32:36
