Február közepén értünk Astanába. Ha a fokokat nézem, akkor nem ez volt a leghidegebb, amit a kazah télből megtapasztaltunk (-20-25 fok körül volt), mégis itt fáztunk a legjobban. Nagyon fagyos szél fújt általában. Plusz külön mutatvány ötpercenként a kesztyűt le-zsepit elő-gyors orrfújás-zsepit el-kesztyűt vissza. Nem mondom, hogy nem fáztunk. Az útvonalunkat mindig úgy kellett megtervezni, hogy 30 perc alatt eljussunk egy fűtött épületbe felmelegedni.
Bayterek - az élet fáját szimbolizálja, aminek a tetejére tojt Samruk, a boldogság madara. 1997-ben épült, akkor lett Astana a főváros.
Lifttel lehet felmenni a tojásba, ahonnan 360 fokos kilátás van a városra:
Khan Shatyr belülről. A felső emeleten egy kisvasút megy körbe a párkányon, onnan lehet nézelődni.
Mecset éjjel:
Az uralski ismerősök közül kivétel nélkül mindenki azt mondta, hogy Astana nagyon szép, de nagyon mesterséges város. Ami nem csoda, a legtöbb épület nem több 20 évesnél. Ez itt a 'pendrive' becenevű épület:
A Párt épülete, Nur Otan, ezt belülről is láttuk, de ott nem mertünk fotózni:
A várva-várt VIP burger, 100 % lóhúsból. Sokig készültem rá, de nagyon finom volt. Cseppet sem zsíros, két vékony hússzelet, majdnem ropogósra sütve:
Ezt az Európai Unió feliratot egy parkban találtuk, nyilván csak véletlen a marha a háttérben:
Good morning, how are you?
VálaszTörlésMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are very small countries with very few population, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this, I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Kazakhstan? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Kazakhstan in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally, I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
