Question from Dennis: What is something in your neighbourhood, in your town, in your city that not a lot of people know about, but you think would make an amazing experience?

I am originally from Almaty, however I moved to Astana three years ago and I am starting to love it here. In Astana's botanical park, there are hideaways within the radius of inner ellipse, where you can have amazing picnics in the shades sitting next to flowers. Also if you are from Almaty, I advice you to try out Bibigon, Romanovski sandwiches, Kokshetau's ice cream, and spiral fried potatoes.

Dennis - нағыз Kazakh patriot. Where others talk the talk, he walks the walk. He glows with passion and love for our country and culture in its sincere and pure form, unlike the majority of pseudo-patriots. Proud of you bro

The best interviewer forever

What an insightful podcast! Dennis Keen's deep knowledge and passion for Almaty's architecture truly shine through in this interview. It's fascinating to hear about the city's hidden gems and unique architectural styles from someone who has immersed themselves in its culture for over a decade. Dennis, your tours must offer such a rich experience of Almaty's history and beauty. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!

I met Dennis in Astana at the students meeting organised by American Corner some years ago. He passionately talked about Almaty walking tours and showed us, common Astana citizens, that old unpretentious ground houses can be really beautiful, interesting for guests and especially foreigners, and make up the city soul itself. Thank you for your hard work, your experience‘ share and respect to our country, I personally highly appreciate it. Good luck with new city tours in Almaty and hope to see you in Astana again 🍀👏🤲 Maral, GE guide 🤝

Dennis is legendary Almatian:)

Dennis is great, I liked how he talked about " Q generation". He has lots of pride and believes in the great future of Kazakhstan. I like that the podcast is in English. In my opinion Kazakhstan is modern,urban and English speaking discussion is a must.

Loved the interview

To answer your question Dennis: there is a lovely walking path along Essentai that starts 100 meters to the left from the Agroleshoz bus stop. Take any bus going to Medeu. You will forget about the busy city the same time you are not in wilderness.

Great hike! Thanks for sharing - Dennis

The host English is so great. I didn't expect him to speak English so well.

Didn't expect it either!

Арман, акцент қайда, әһәh) Almaty has become a popular destination for tourists (especially from India) in recent years. They have 14 days visa free to our country. So, it’s obvious that it’s becoming a good business for someone. Btw, your video popped up under one of those Indian tourists travel vlog, lol

Amazing 👏🏻

Wow! Sometimes, it sounds like Dennis knows more about Almaty than the host does. It’s absolutely impressive how broad and detailed Dennis’ comprehension of Almaty’s history is. The guy has done a brilliant job diving deep into the facts and real history of the region. Unfortunately, the modern Kazakh government has been putting a lot of effort into wiping out the Soviet history of the city, remodeling the facades, and erecting new residential complexes instead of the one- or two-story buildings from the Soviet era. Obviously, this reinvented history has little to do with the real past of the region. Instead of denying the past, it might be best to embrace it, which, in turn, will likely allow people to reconcile with some of the most contradictory moments in Kazakhstan’s complex history.

Эмпатичный, уважающий нашу идентичность, историю гость. Уже даже не гость - уже патриот Казахской степи

Dennis, have you noticed that your accent is getting sound like ours? Just like Arman's.

5:38 he pronounced it as "Al-Farabi" but the majority of the locals pronounce it wrong. they say "Alfa-Rabbi" 😁

It's so strange to hear Russian speech among English
