If you've decided to move to Kz in the end, you should have significant reason for that, often it is career opportunity and possibility to earn the "oil money".
Kazakhstan is a developing country and don't expect the same living conditions like in EU, US and GB.
Although there are differences in the life style view between local and particularly people from western developed countries. In general it is quite easy to make friends among educated persons. All depends on what kind of interest you have, I mean it could be either business partners, who became your friends after years of teamwork; people with whom you can spent time doing such kind of activity as skiing, hiking, biking, fitness, yoga etc; or random persons at the nearest pub.
I wish you to have interesting, productive time there.
If you require some information, I will give my advise on this web site with pleasure.
