LET'S GO
SHOPPING!
When tourists visit the big cities of Kazakhstan, they always
stop to buy some souvenirs at one of the lively bazaars and
flea markets. You can find everything here - spices, food,
household items, clothes, electronics, beautiful handmade
carpets. Zelyony Bazaar in Almaty, for example, is a popular
food market. It is the best place to try traditional Kazakh
cuisine, such as horse sausage, 'Kazakh meat', manti and
kumis. You won't find better kumis anywhere in the city! The
sellers often give free samples to the customers. They know
that their products are good and that once you have tried
the sample, it will be difficult to walk away without buying
something! Things might seem expensive at first, but you can
haggle over the price with the stall owner and pay less. There
are many other interesting markets all over the country, like
Samal Bazaar in Shymkent and the Central Bazaar in Astana.
In recent years, some of the flea markets have been replaced with large
shopping malls. These modern buildings offer a completely different
shopping experience. No one haggles in the mall, but you can often
get discounts in the sales. The shops are open until late, so you can do
your shopping any time you want. If you need a break from shopping,
there are a lot of cafés, bakeries and restaurants where you can order
both local and international food. Another advantage of malls is that
they have entertainment facilities, like cinemas and sports centres. At
the Khan Shatyr mall in Astana, there is even an aqua park with a beach,
while Keruencity Aktobe has a skating rink. In other cities there are
MEGA malls. All the shopping malls are very popular, especially with
young people. For example, more than 30,000 people visit Keruencity
every day, and a lot of them are teenagers. They come here to buy cool
new clothes and gadgets, meet friends, watch a film or just hang out.
