Take a stroll along the pedestrianized Zhibek Zholy. Here you’ll find inexpensive cafes, a few buskers, and kitsch art stands.
Big Almaty Lake is located just a thirty-minute drive south of Almaty. It is located in the beautiful Zailiysky Alteau Mountain Range. Here you can enjoy hiking and picnicking. It is a lovely spot and depending on the time of year the lake can be green, turquoise or even grayish. The surrounding forest is amazing.

I don’t know if it’s important to mention, but Eduard Kazaryan is an Armenian sculptor. I doubt that Kazakhstan has any artists or sculptors of note. Also, the Panfilov infantry were true heroes;tragically, they were sacrificed by Stalin to stop the Nazi tank attack. They were not equipped with any anti-tank or anti-artillery weapons so they literally stopped the tank with their bodies!
All I can say is that if you know this it is great that you can pass on this information because I can only go by the information I get from online sources. It just goes to show that it would be great if people who know that there is wrong information out there could correct it. I will make a note of this and all I can do is look over my blog and put in an edit. Thank you for letting me know.
Glad to be of help, dear! I hope you don’t take offense. I love reading your blog!
No offense. We just want the right information to go out there. I love reading your blog too and make sure not to miss out a single blog. 🙂
