Traveling Around: Almaty, Kazakhstan<\/p>\n

Can you relate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Seeing locations in a city that the Amazing Race teams did a challenge at.
\n\u2022 Noticing how amazing it would be to live next to a majestic range.
\n\u2022 Buying souvenirs that you normally wouldn’t buy because you are trying to make your current international apartment your “home”
\n\u2022 Being happy that the location that you are currently living in has much, much less pollution.
\n\u2022 Interrupting (in a respectful way) a important culture event that the locals were participating in.
\n\u2022 Talking with the local dried-fruit and nuts man at the green market in the center of town and buying some amazing dates from him.
\n\u2022 Meeting a lot of the expat international school teachers that live in the city and realizing how much fun they are having living abroad in a (very) foreign country.
\n\u2022 Laughing a bit as you walk through a mall and watching people skate around the indoor ice rink in the atrium.
\n\u2022 Passing by much of the produce at the local grocery stores because of its poor quality.
\n\u2022 Feeling grateful to have old work-friends in cool and unusual places around the world.
\n\u2022 Waiting for minutes, hours, and even days for the government to turn on the heat so you can take a hot shower.
\n\u2022 Eating at the main expat restaurant for some good-ole western food.
\n\u2022 Sitting in a cool section of a local restaurant and having some excellent, moreish local food.
\n\u2022 Checking out the very important opera house, but unfortunately not being able to buy a ticket to see a show.<\/div>\n
