Kazakhstan is quite a popular travel destination.
And there is nothing surprising about this: beautiful nature, numerous attractions, unique culture and hospitality of local residents make the Central Asian country truly attractive for tourists.
But before you go to Kazakhstan, learn about the rules of conduct in this country.
There are several nuances that, if not known in advance, a traveler may encounter certain difficulties.
There are several typical mistakes made by tourists, reports the Zen channel “Discover Kazakhstan”.
Long stay in the country without registration
There is a visa-free regime in Kazakhstan for citizens of many countries.
Knowing this, some people stay here for a long time and do not perform any additional actions.
But after a certain period of time after arrival (usually 30 days, but it can be more) you need to register at the migration police department! Be sure to do this if you plan to stay in Kazakhstan for several months!
Addressing someone informally
Kazakhs may perceive being addressed informally as "you" with a negative attitude.
The peculiarity of the locals' mentality is their respectful attitude towards each other. It is not accepted to "poke" here.
Do not address a person as "you" even if you have known him/her for a long time in Kazakhstan. You can do this only after you have truly become friends.
Visiting a restaurant without taking into account the peculiarities of local cuisine
It is important to understand that Kazakh cuisine is distinguished by the presence of a considerable number of heavy dishes - fried and fatty.
Be sure to take this into account before visiting a local restaurant.
Having problems with digestion or following a certain type of diet (for example, veganism) is a reason to carefully study the composition of foods.
And you also need to remember one important feature of kumiss. This tasty drink contains alcohol. Some tourists forget about this, drink a lot of kumiss, and then suddenly experience intoxication.
