Wow. You've done extensive research before coming. I am a local, and I haven't been to most of the places that you managed to visit in a week. It was amazing to see our nature through a tourist's eyes. And the way you saw beauty in everything and described it. Thank you. I hope you had the best time.

I was born and lived almost whole my life in Almaty but now my second homeland is Austrlia. I should say that I really miss my Almaty.
