Hi! Came here for a week as a tourist. Mainly to learn skiing. Making this post to just say thank you to all the wonderful people of Almaty. Everybody was so good. People helped me out with translater apps on their phone when shopkeeper couldn't understand what I was saying. At the chocolate factory, they let me go ahead because I was tourist. Navat has delicious food. Even though I had to wait sometimes, they would Always find me a place. And the usual niceties followed. I see people are very respectful towards women here. Maybe it is always like this but I loved it. So thank you Almaty and see you again soon
On a side note, what is this smog you're talking about? The air is so clear, especially in the mountains.

Well, you got lucky, sometimes, especially during spring and early winter, the wind takes the route from the mountains to the city, and clears out the air.
