I really liked that interview because it’s my first time I see as a foreigner gives a real “non-polite” opinion about real life in Kazakhstan and here you can see real things without any exaggerations. Because mostly foreigners don’t want to offend people with a real opinion, so I’m really happy she said all the positive and negative moments

All the kazakh youtubers I've seen have put so much effort into making their videos i love it

This was very informative - I think it would be very interesting to visit or work in Kazakhstan. It’s a shame that in Europe where I live many people don’t know too much about Central Asia. In fact we learned a bit about Central Asia in geography in high school, but not too much about history or society (many people would not know that Kazakh is a Turkic language, and even fewer would know more then two or three cities in Kazakhstan by name...) But I am sure that Kazakhstan will soon be way more known since the economy is growing rapidly and so is the higher Education sector (in fact I saw a lot of job openings in scientific fields at universities in Kazakhstan.) Thank you so much for the video!

Hi . I finished this interview. Thank you for showing me your country. Amazing.

I absolutely love your channel,I l have learned so much about your beautiful country . I had no idea Kazakhstan was so modern in so many ways . I thought it was a poor country . I was so wrong ,your country is modern ,the culture is unbelievable and I really wish I could visit but I am elderly . I am so grateful to learn about other cultures and countries Thank you so much you are teaching the world so much about each other ,much love from Canada .

Rocky, no shame in not liking aspects of where you are. As a "visitor", you will focus on what sets it apart. Over time, usually after 3+years, your focus will shift to day-to-day life. Being lonely in a foreign land, where locals don't seem as friendly is fairly common expat experience. A local partner or MeetUp, and a social hobby (climbing, soccer, volleyball etc) will open up a side of life that you won't usually experience. Great vids! Cheerios

Rocky you are inspired me to travel around the world , and explore another countries. I was born in Kazakhstan

Very interesting video! I hope you can open Kazakhstan deeper for foreigners and show our kindness))

Thanks for the interesting interview! Өте қызықты болды ^-^

This is a big problem in Astana, Almaty, we speak Russian, and so in theory we should speak Kazakh in our own language, here the politics of Russia put pressure on our government, we Kazakhs ourselves should speak Kazakh and not listen to the corrupt government

Long borders with small population, Kazakhstan can't afford to anger Russia or China, also oil pipelines needs to pass through their territory making Kazakhstan a bit too reliant on those government. Introducing Latin alphabets by government for Kazakh language is a good move.

Сейчас мы наблюдаем активное распространение и обмен с другими тюркскими народностями, в особенности Турция активно пытается развивать культурный и языковой обмен с Казахстаном, учитывая, что турецкий язык без влияния чужих стран благодаря своей исторической силе развивался на протяжении нескольких веков, что также поможет Казахстану в развитии казахского языка.

Hey Rocky Journeys You should Def come to Almaty, if your contract ends and you decide to stay in Kazakhstan come to Almaty There are many more young interesting people here, English is spoken at bars and clubs, the night and culture life is no worse than in the west, many westerners as well and so many opportunities to do marketing and KZread job that you could invest in part time besides doing English teaching job Also the Almaty mountains are just in 30 mins and sport life here is the best

How about getting a job in kazakhstan , more like in hotel , room service or restaurant. Because I am not well educated to get higher class job .

I actually like it when in the FSU the service is a bit 'colder'. I usually find these smiles in the West kinda fake and it annoys me to be honest.

American here. I was recently in Aktau. Loved it! The people seemed very friendly and very open to sharing a smile. I'll also add that I had arrived in Aktau after having visited Istanbul and Tbilisi. In both of those cities I experienced the taxi driver mobs at the airports who wanted high prices for the unsuspecting visitor. - I didn't experience that in Aktau. My taxi driver was very fair in his pricing. Almost too fair, and extremely helpful, so I gave him a good tip. I think the lack of tourism, compared to places like Istanbul, contributed to the lack of "taxi sharks".

Salta you are very beautiful and clever girl 👧 💕

Nice video. I don't really understand what you are saying about Kazakh people being nomadic has to do with the sometimes poorer service demeanor. Are you saying its a cultural leftover from the more nomadic history or even today the majority of the people are still nomadic? I thought people are living more modern now with a fixed house/apartment...

@azinag6403

3 жыл бұрын

She meant that during nomadic times in Kazakh history, Kazakh people were bosses of their own and could move around freely, and still to this day most people have inherited this personlaity trait - being bossy. That is why waiters/waitresses do not like to serve people and think of this kinds of service providing jobs to be temporary and as "phase" to becoming successful etc.
