- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- If you’ve wondered what local life is like in Kazakhstan, prepare to be surprised because it’s probably not how you thought. We talked about many social issues, had some Kazakhstani food, hitch hiked like the locals and just had the best day. Meeting a local/subscriber/now friend was an amazing end to my time in Astana, Kazakhstan. Hope you guys enjoy this video!

When I was in Russia last year for the World Cup I met an interesting group of guys from Kazakhstan while I was on the train bound for Adler (Sochi). I they're very interesting because they look similar to Chinese people, but they speak Russian fluently and they're Muslims. I got a chance to have a conversation to one of them who speaks English during the journey.
Basically Kazakhs are different from Chinese, many of them look like them but not all sinces Kazakhs are Turkic people, after Mongolian invasion Kazakhs had become look more like Chinese))))
@@Azamat-eq2rq The Turks were originally yellow people. They lived in the Mongolian Plateau long long ago. Later, they moved to centrol Asia, conquered some the white people tribes and formed the half-breed Turks .Nowadays people inTurkey are not truely Turks, they are white people conquered by Turks.
Wowaweewah, very nice noli. Ik n Khazazstan we say to talk to a man is like talk to a elephant, and in my country we say to talk to an elephant is like talk to a man, yes
Just as you said. You are blessed to meet wonderful locals in Kazakstan. Great guy. Awesom p
This is such a fun video! Zhandos did a great job showing around Astana and is simply a wonderful human being!
I love how you have interacted and blended in with the locals so far! It truly helps to broaden our horizons :)
Thanks Rahul! Glad you enjoyed the video
Wow Kazak, beautiful country. Astan is a stoning.
Hey beautiful, I agree, there's nothing wrong meeting new people who have similar lifestyles as you because you'll be surprised how much you have in common with them, yessss!!!😊🌹❤
Wow that aquarium is incredible!
It was super cool!
I love your Kazakhstan videos!
Happy to hear that!
Good lesson, a lot of people are good, and willing to communicate, to live in peace, everywhere. We are exactly the same in the inside.
Absolutely
I love this comment. I couldn’t agree more!
I've never been to Astana but I have fond memories of my visit to Alma-Ata (as it was known then) a long time ago. I'm quite envious of your extensive travels, Alina. I'm sure we could share a lot of stories of being vegetarian in the Russian-speaking world alone! Vsego khoroshego!
Spasiba! haha
Now that looked like amazing food! I've been so impressed with Kazakhstan, but first is Kyiv in two weeks. College and university are seperate here in England, too.
Great video! I am moving to Astana from Dushanbe, Tajikistan in July and I have seen several travel vlogs on the city--some try to cover everything, but this was truly unique specifically because you connected with a local person. I am even more excited to get there after watching this! I follow you and like your approach to traveling as I am also a solo female traveler.
Wow!.......you are so lucky!........I hope to go there....within a couple of years.
Wow! Great video. The city looks amazing and the food divine. As stated for another video, you've added Kazakhstan to my list of places to visit soon.
That’s awesome!
Thanks for the nice video brings back memories of working in kasakhstan. beautiful people to work with.
Man never thought food from Kazakhstan looks that great also great scenery. All in all great vid
Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for video tour. It was interesting
Hi 👋🏼 there...Yes! Alina the guy seems to be a very genuine person, a gentleman...take care...best regards...
Керемет видеоны жақсы түсіреді екенсіз, Сізге рахмет ! 👏🌹🌺👍
I liked the part about the circus building looking like a space ship
Very informative video, thanks for sharing!
Awesome travels!!
It was awesome that he assisted you and took you to different places...
Amazing video Alina well done 😊😊❤️❤️
Quel charme vous avez Alina et quel regard et chaque pas je pense a toi sincères amitiés .laido
Вы отлично говорите по-русски, Алина! И вы очаровательны! Продолжайте в том же духе! Keep it up! Good luck! Thanks for warm words about our country. Always welcome!
Great Video Alina its good to know you were able to meet someone who also lived in Canada and be able to interview him.
Yes it was a pretty lucky meetup!
Going to Kazakhstan in three weeks. Looking forward to that. Spasibo, Alina! Good work!
Have an amazing time!
👍 from Astana🇰🇿
From Mexico!
GGG 👍👍👊👊👊👑👑🥊🥊🥊🇰🇿🥊🥊🥊🇲🇽🇲🇽🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇✊✊✊
Canelo:👎👎👎👎
Thank you so much
How very interesting that you took the calculated risk and met a delightful guy for a day companion and I bet he helped you understand the city more. I hope you will have made a new friend from this day. Keep being your bold self
I truly wish our city looked like that!.......I live in the 3rd largest city in Missouri USA and that city there puts ours to shame.
Trust me, the reality on the ground is not as rosy as this video would have you believe. Otherwise, Kazakhstan wouldn't be losing hundreds of thousands of its young and bright citizens to outbound migration every year, mostly to Canada and Australia.
Another lovely video but I never saw all off the last one when you we're hiking in a village. It looked very interesting. Thank you. Dobspato England
Good morning Alina 😍
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
great video to see
What a beautiful video.looks fab.great vieo n now im a subscriber...stay happyyy always
Hello guys ! I wanna fix a word here. Don't offended to me, please. The word "Beautiful" is translated from English into Kazakh " сұлу", "әдемі", but the word "керемет" is translated from Kazakh into English - "amazing", "wonderful", "great" etc. It has several meanings in one. Best regards, Adil.
couldn't feel my toes, glad you went inside that sphere and told us about it. i had been wondering what it was lol
People are pretty amazing all over the world. Most are people you'd like to have as neighbours and close friends. Alina, you're finding that out now. We have so much to learn from one another, it's ashamed we use the words "enemy" or "adversary" to describe each other. That's just not true.
We create our own enemies by not being at peace with ourselves.
I was recovering from heart surgery at the time, or I would have showed you around town too. It can be a fun little town with the right kind of guide. Although Zhandos did a pretty good job here, so you weren't short changed in that department by any means.
cool stuff
Very nice
your voice is amazing
Thanks Alina.
Wish I go to Kazakhstan.
I like to visit there and hike the mountains too ⛰😲
That type of taxi interaction is the same here in Colombia, although it is considered rude that the driver asks where you are going before you get in
Cool stunning city!=8) Really like the robot!=8)
I have a cousin who looks like the Kazakh guy in the video and we are Cantonese. Now I wonder if our family might have some ancient Turkic/Mongol ancestry lol
Yandex app. Tagam foodparadise. Two new tip.
Im glad on your behalf you get this kind of local guiding as an output of your channel. You are doing something right. Keep it comming 😀
Одлично што познаваш Руски и Англиски-Јас препорачам и Шпански-поздрав

Thank you so much!
Very interesting and beautiful city there are Italian people in Astana?
Locals there look like Canadian First Nations people's with an Asian mix. That's really interesting to me because I'm fascinated with true human history and human migration. I had no idea about this part of the world until your vids. I had a completely different idea about what that part of the world would be like.
Thanks for these vids. 👍❤️
The only thing is I can't do the horse meat. I've talked to horses and they make eye contact. Be like eating dogs for me. 😔
Glad you’ve found them interesting! Yes eating horse is a bit odd but it’s interesting because we can get the same attachment to cows or chickens.
@@AlinaMcleod на территории Казахстана впервые одомашили лошадь, для пропитания. И только потом первыми научились использовать как транспорт. В остальном мире лошадь узнали уже как вид транспорта с волной миграции, но стоит помнить что приучили ее для пропитания, и казахам это перешло от прошлых народов заселявших эту территорию
First time they must go to isyk kul a big lake, i think near almaty but not shure
Come to Cancún, there are a lot of things here.
I love your videos of Kazakhstan - always wanted to see this area. Now I see modernization is well.
❤️❤️❤️
Belle
Zhandos seems to be a very soft guy 😄
OMG! Was the song those animatronic animals really Inner Circle's "Sweat"? Not really appropriate for children ... I guess sometimes things do get lost in translation. Thanks for the video and laughs Alina.
Lol I know. I don’t think most people were aware, just had a happy beat.
Yeah, you've got it right! LOL
I m your new subscriber sister
ALINA, your Russian speaking competence is an advantage to your growing business, because it is a significant impact on the authentic paradigm of inviting the audience into the genuine experience with the citizens of these former Soviet Union countries! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Nice Video! Alina Where are you from? 😃
все таки с английского на русский перешли. Иностранцы не поймут почему канадка разговаривает с казахом в столице Казахстана на русском)
I do think most people around the world have some sense that former Soviet Republics were forcibly Russified and retain that legacy.
@@leejohnson179 да, тоже самое можно сказать и об английских колониях. поэтому английский язык так распространен в мире.
@@user-qv4fo6xp2w Yes, exactly the same. So just as people are not surprised to hear English in India or Australia, they shouldn't be too surprised to hear Russian in Kazakhstan.
What a beautiful lady
Надо было лучше в Рафе сходить. Там прям рядом с Тагамом было. Там намнооого вкуснее по моему. :)
You look very smart, beautiful and friendly. You attract me much. Gbu
РЦ Думан, и колесо обозрение это хорошо.... ))))) А ресторан "салам алекум " лучше.)))))) Там ЖАРЕННЫЙ ЛАГМАН самый вкусный.
Ich vermisse dich Alina ❤
Where your country you stay?
Почему русских субтитров нет ?
👍👍👍🙌🙌
Красивая девочка !
I wanna go backpacking in kazakstan 😎😍 how is the english?
Not a lot lol. Russian or Kazak is ideal for anywhere outside the large cities.
Well, sounds interesting 😎 cant be much worse than countryside in ukraine 😁
LOCAL TOUR GUIDE looks like a NEPALI , just mixed bred and his mannerism has been turkish . quite interesting canadian and british educated khazak
He is very cute and beautiful
🥰😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰😍😍😍
Стоит ехать город Нурсултан привет
Can I leave the US and move there?
Its kind of like what the US should have done to prevent it from becoming a 3rd world police state.
Do y have a Russian accent?Especially word
Hi Alina , how r u ? when the world environment will normal if u want to spend some tome on the bank of world largest sea beach (90 km long all in a row) u can come in my country, it is world's most dense populated country. but it's enjoyable. you can see here poverty is an art. now we r developing. may be you can use any cloths which made by my country.
Good job
Yours smile
Yours vice
Best of the year
But do slowly in vedio making
Красивая
Where are you from???
HELLO ALINA MCLEOD, GOOD NIGHT YOU D´ FALL IN LOVE WITH A FAN!!!
#UA-cam is a knowledge in all universe youtube is a knowledge in everything no limit UA-cam is great opportunity to everyone in the universe ❤❤❤❤
For locals, there is nothing to do in Nursultan other than drinking whiskey/beer or coffee. No skiing or diving, it is too far to go for a picnic (it is virtually where dog die). Only two weeks of summer in Nursultan, and nine months of winter, squalls in winter. Almaty has much to offer.
Малматинцы не унимаются, строчить под каждым видео об Астане, когда вы уже колхозники успокоитесь
I assume there is no such an idiom in English, bro😂
Wondering if Fall season also good to visit Astana? It seems that you were there in the summer…
You know Alina so beutiful..you are so beutiful and so cute all for me in my heart and forever.. really.. take care.. bye..
Вы с России имигрировали в Канаду
1) Akmolinsk, 2) Tselinograd, 3) Akmola, 4) Astana, 5) Nur-Sultan. 🤣 🤣 🤣
*Astana Yes✓, Nur-sultan No×*
NUR SULTAN FOREVER
NUR-SULTAN yes,Astana no!
Мне иногда кажется, что ты русская просто притворяешься, что говоришь на английском :D
Так-то, она русская, родившаяся в УССР. Но с 5 лет проживающая в Канаде ;)
Мне кажется эта леди этническая русская которая в далёком прошлом переехала в Канаду. Видно по её манерам, по её поведению. Канадой вообще не попахивает.
why don't you bought some real food ???? what is meat, fish prices ?
artificial intelligence is the future
Please send me your local kazakh host email

Que Dios nos perdone.
Казах говорит -разговариваект свободно с канадкой!Город при Союзе,назывался Целиноградом и был жуткой жопой!Куда ,блять,нас ведет сказочный??
Wy do they eat horse for. A horse in England dose everything asked off then do lot's off work for man or women. So wy eat them sorry it's a very different way off life different culture.
