Text of the page (random words):
to help out so be glad and let them as is to be expected people do appreciate it when you make an effort to speak the local language and read their signs so make sure to dust off your cyrillic alphabet knowledge and try to pick up a few phrases and words here and there we did find a few helpful youtube videos introducing common kazakh phrases the internet connection is pretty good within the city but as soon as you go a bit higher like in the mountains or 30 km outside the city connectivity becomes an issue you are highly encouraged to venture out far from connectivity with a guide or a tour bus so it shouldn t be a problem but if you decide to rent a car although it is legally required to insure it you might not get this option if you go for lesser known more economical options do keep this in mind as outside the city limits it could present a problem in terms of navigation emergencies and the like the consensus seems to be to opt for local guides and guided tours if you re planning on leaving the city and its immediate surroundings food prices are surprisingly high all restaurants take an automatic 10 service fee and you may be charged an additional 5 for take out transportation is generally good busses and metro are really cheap and taxis can be hit or miss you do get to choose economy standard or luxury and with indrive you even get to bargain the fare before booking your taxi with a family of 6 we had to use indrive as the other apps don t allow for large vehicle bookings but if we couldn t get a decent price for a single vehicle we would opt for 2 regular taxis instead cable cars and other mountain transportation is relatively cheap and is totally worth every tene the views are pristine and dreamy the air fresh and the hikes varied from easy peasy to considerably challenging we met many avid hikers on the peaks and leisurely families with elderly people strolling uphill on wide surfaces with plenty of benches to rest if hiking isn t your thing there are always buses and other means of transportation that will take you to your destination in a jiffy for pennies on the dollar however i do recommend putting in the effort if you re able as the views are quite spectacular and you do want to enjoy them fully we considered staying in a yurt but unless you re someone who likes roughing it out while paying a premium for it i would not recommend it we re talking hundreds of dollars per night for a mattress on the floor and an outhouse sometimes a mere hole in the ground shared among 4 6 yurts yeah that kind of roughing it you really don t have to do all that to enjoy the yurts there are cheaper more comfortable alternatives up in the mountains without having to spend the night as the trip to and fro is totally manageable within the span of half a day from pretty much anywhere in almaty the population seemed very young and rapidly growing the standard of living seems pretty solidly middle class and everyone seems to be living comfortably homelessness and crime despite what i read online before going is not common in fact women alone in pairs or small groups and groups of young and elderly people could be seen carelessly roaming the streets at all times of the day and night undisturbed we did not frequent areas with night clubs and discos at night which is where apparently most of the crime seems to concentrate so that might explain why it seemed very safe restaurants are everywhere and prices range widely but are by no means cheap even buying your own groceries won t save you much as grocery stores are few and their prices not highly competitive there are plenty of corner stores which sell fresh home made and packaged foods fruit vendors prices vary wildly as well case in point i remember buying half my fruit in a corner store and the other half from a lady on a sidewalk in the same general neighborhood and in the same morning same types of fruits in roughly the same quantities and paying double at the store when i offered to pay more to the middle aged woman who sold me the fruit she refused and gave me extra bananas to cover the tip i was scared i had offended her so i gratefully accepted the bananas and went on my way often prices aren t marked although they do seem negotiable even at the hotels and apartments but be mindful and respectful as attitudes seem to vary greatly we only spent two weeks and moved around a lot perhaps if we had gotten to know people a bit more things would have become clearer but these are my impressions based on my experiences for fun we went horse back riding no shortage of options both inside and outside the city we went up nearby mountains on foot and by cable car where we rock climbed dirt biked zip lined tree hiked ate in yurts explored peaks came close up to glaciers and soaked in the beautiful views we visited museums and parks went to malls busy streets and the main bazar we took public buses and metros went on guided tours to the main distant venues lakes canyons rivers and mountain ranges and ate at a wide range of restaurants around the city we stayed in a hotel and an apartment and walked just about everywhere we could i would visit again in a heartbeat and i sincerely hope you will too posted on 9 october 2025 10 october 2025 oneness marvel at the sparkle of rippling waves sway with the tall field grass swoon at the sight of colorful feathers rejoice at the sound of gurgling water pitter pattering of squirrels on trees leaves rustling in the wind twigs cracking under our feet waves rhythmically approaching and retreating birds chirping in secret languages delight in the breeze caressing our faces bask in the warmth of the sun s rays ground ourselves in the scent of oncoming rain freshly cut grass blooming roses envelop ourselves in the scent of freshly baked bread disarming our doubts and settling in as if at home our senses are transported to idyllic scenes at the whiff of a scented flower as the sand pours through our fingers as autumn leaves crunch under our boots as sharp rocks soften into sinuous curves through centuries of waves racing along them as the chill brings us to embrace ourselves and breathe into our cupped hands as the heat beckons us to the beach and the forest we think we are to move and movement is life we relax in the belief that the beauty is self maintained by constant renewal and cyclical motion but stop reflect what set it all in motion what allows for it to renew what created it all in the first place don t be lulled by your senses into temporary delights there s depth width and wisdom to it it is beauty but it is more than that it is nature but not only look around you and look within you which signs will show you how deep within and without must you seek allah s wonders are signs for us to rejoice in and contemplate allah s world is surface and depth there are many layers from all sides enjoy the surface but do not stop there move with nature and not against it don t be contented with the obvious delights ask question ponder and you will find that all points to one creator who is guiding me and you and all of us if we only use all of our faculties and seek beyond platitudes beyond appearances beyond surface level meanings allah is the one who started it he is the one who maintains it he is the one who can end it as he wills the motion can distract the scent can deceive the noise can obscure the flash can blind it is up to you to dig deep within and find the truth once you find it hold onto it and never let go you can enjoy the sways and accept the earthquakes you can explore the woods and understand the wildfires you can bathe in the ocean and prepare for the tsunamis you can care for nature and respectfully work with it if you understand that all of it from beginning to end as beautiful or as torturous as it may be is from allah from him we come and to him we return everything begins and ends but him so don t think my words will live on forever just because they re written don t think your actions have no consequences don t fool yourself into sensorial overload there is rhyme and reason and once you find it you will be truly free free from the constraints of oppressors free from the limits of the imagination free from the boundaries of knowledge free from the curse of uncertainty by acknowledging allah s bounties understanding allah s power and rights upon us you free your mind and spirit from the chains of man made ideology you rise above it all because you see the bigger picture and the deeper picture not stuck in a two dimensional existence you do not fear threats of any kind as you know only allah controls it all and to him is the return he sees all and will judge all in his infinite wisdom with ultimate justice and care love nature love life but most of all love the one who created it all and get to know him hold onto him with all your might as he will never wither away and his guidance is the truth that will always emerge above all falsehoods above all distractions above all posted on 30 may 2024 hye as the earth rumbles as the sky falls as the mountains crumble to your feet the believer alone will smile with faith posted on 1 may 2024 read with us the anthology is out now it s your turn to tell us what you think get a cup of something cozy and read with us this is what we do we write paint draw observe and read and this is how we grow learn and build community join us neutrality is standing with the oppressor this is not a viable option it is clear as day who the oppressed are and why we need to voice our concerns and do our utmost to stop their oppression a political analyst would write papers letters file recommendations give interviews and let his expertise guide the narrative that way a satirist would bring to the surface the nefarious ultimate results of continuing the stated course of action and let the listeners become disgusted with the inevitable conclusions to be drawn a scholar would make themselves available for classes interviews symposia and discussions to dissect the reality and bring forth solutions a journalist would push for clear unambiguous answers to critical questions that reveal the motivations the means and the end goal a lawyer would gather information and bring it to bear before a panel of judges to beckon humanity to its stated morals a musician would write a soundtrack to galvanize people and provide a suitable background to the unfathomable images that the oppressed provide an influencer would use their platform to amplify the voices of the oppressed have discussions with experts or bring to the fore the necessary information for people to realize what is happening and why an activist would gather people together to protest in every way they can to bring attention to the oppression and make it difficult for the status quo to persist a writer would write about what they see hear feel and think all of us together would hope that all our efforts combined would change the situation to one that is fair and just we are writers and this is our effort alongside our support of all other efforts to bring the oppression of the palestinians to an end it is narrated that عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْت رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم يَقُولُ مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ
