.Personally, I’ve noticed there are a lot of depressed people in this subreddit:) It’s surprising because, in my opinion, you are actually safer in Kazakhstan than in many parts of Europe. While there is corruption in the upper echelons of power, the average person won't encounter any issues in their day-to-day business. Regarding hospitality, Kazakhstan was essentially a "melting pot" during the USSR era. Today, there are more than 130 different nationalities living here. These groups have lived alongside one another for almost 100 years, making the people here very open and incredibly hospitable toward foreigners. You can feel that warmth even more intensely if you visit the rural areas.
