Hi Bayan,
Great to see how friendly are local people, that is very nice.
I am in Almaty for a couple of years and got some friends here with whom we spend pretty good time visiting places, going out, etc. I recently met a person, a DJ from Saint Petersburg who gave me an idea of getting Almaty expats together for them to meet, find friends and have a good time. He has a nice place up in the mountains with the most beautiful view on Almaty I ever seen. So what do you think of inviting your foreign and/or Kazakh friends to a party, which will be organized by that new friend of mine? BBQ, shashlyk (correct?), some alcohol, nice music and open people? I am thinking of a small party, like 20-30 people. That would be pretty nice! Also, share pictures of his place with your friends, I am sure theyll love it. So please inform. Thanks.
