I have created a blog where I will only post pictures of Aktobe, so that you can see what kind of a city it is, the people here, the things you can get here. There is so little info available online about things like this for Kazakhstan esp if its anywhere outside Almaty or Astana that we don't know the reality till we see it. Hope this helps remove the mystery somewhat.
Thank you for posting the pictures! Brings back so many memories, but also shows how much has changed! The new airport hadn't opened when we were there. They hauled our luggage in a dump truck to a fenced in area where you fought the crowds to find your suitcase! Then you had to drag them to a muddy/dirt parking lot.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a Kaz Walmart! Maybe it was there when we were, but no one told us about it.
