Day 1: Nur-Sultan
Astana (or Nur-Sultan) embodies rapid conversion of Kazakh nation from nomadic society into modern industrial state. Of course, it was not easy - the nation had to live through two World Wars, one civil war, rapid urbanization and devastating westernization - all in less than century. But the nation was strong enough to learn a lot of new and ever changing life. For last three centuries Kazakhstan had been important part of Russian empire, USSR and its citizens played great role in both. Now Kazakhstan quickly integrates into global society. I will tell you about all these things. Discounted accomodation, meals and transfers can be rendered upon a request. Welcome to Astana!
