Hello dear Almaty friends,

I’m looking for a local flower shop to order from as I’m being a little confused with all those international companies offering blurred services. Let me know if you have some clues !

Hello,

Anybody know if the big almaty lake is open at sunrise? Is it still open? Will I be able to take a yandex up there before the sun is up? Planning to go check out BAO next week. Will that be a good time to go?

Thanks

Hello! I am returning to Almaty in a few days and have seen the main sights pretty much. I've heard great things about Charyn canyon but it's a little unclear to me how I can get there. I have no driver's license and I assume Yandex would be pretty expensive as it is a 4(?) Hour drive and the driver would be waiting for a long time. Does anyone know a budget option? Tours are a viable option aswell as long as they are not too expensive.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Almatinians!

Me, my wife and her sister are looking for a place to stay between the dates in the title. We have 2 super sweet Norwich Terriers. We all work remotely and we speak. Our total budget is around 600€.

We are already cheking every website out there to see our options but to no avail so far. Most of the places are sold out!

Any kind of help appreciated!

Hi Almaty! My mom is currently living in your beautiful city and her birthday is soon. It seems like shipping anything to her is going to be hard (I’m in the US). Any ideas on how I could get her a present?

I speak English, a little Russian and Turkish. I've already found an international language exchange meeting on meetup but I want more :)

I am visiting Almaty and can use some company for dinner/drinks or to go to one of the museums or other activities in the city center. Does anyone want to meet up sometime tomorrow or Saturday?

We meet every sunday at 11:00.

Hi guys, we are digital nomads with product experience as well as junior and mid-level in Software Dev, going to visit Almaty on 20-25 of January. We would like to get connected with Software Developers, Software Architects, Cyber Security, DevOps, Cloud Engineers etc. We can organize an IRL meetup (Sunday branch). Comment if you are interested.

We are not hiring, we just want to expand our network and probably bring you value with our network.

Hi. Due to be in Almaty for a few days. Never been there. Any general advice? I don't speak Russian.

Some qs I have in mind:

1. Are money exchangers safe or should I do that at the hotel?
2. Does uber exist there?
3. Is g/translate useful as I don't speak Russian?
4. Anyone/anything to be particularly aware especially in terms of scams?
5. What are the best restaurants for Kazakh food (love food so please feel free to recommend a typical Kazakh/Asian dish).
6. Do I need to carry my passport all the time or would a passport copy and some other Id work?

Let me know anything you'd like to know when going to a foreign country for thw first time and you don't speak the language.

Thanks!

As stated, I'm willing to pay someone to help out occasionally. I don't know how often he needs it, but it would just be driving him in his own car to the doctor or to get groceries. If anyone can help, or wants to get a little extra money, please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hello, recently our dog gave birth to some puppies. We can't take care of them so we are giving them for free. Please reply if you want one or call me
