Kazakhstan: Almaty – Around City Center

A very brief introduction to the Kazakh capital of Almaty – only got to visit three attractions: the Ascension Cathedral, the Central Mosque, and the Panfilov Park dedicated to the WWII with Soviet Era brutalist architecture monuments and the eternal flame. Then, off to the Almaty Green Market – it’s not just where fruits and vegetables are sold, the place is filled to the ream with meat and milk products. Horse meat occupies a large section of the market – from choice meat cuts to sausages.
