My
holiday in Kazakhstan
I’ve been in Almaty for nearly two weeks now-it’s
a big city in the south of Kazakhstan. I’m having a wonderful time.
Last week, I explored the city with my Kazakhstan friend, Dariga.
We started in Republic Square and saw the Independence Monument
with the statue of the ‘’Golden Man’’ on the top. Then we went to
Panfilov Park and visited the beautiful cathedral. It was built in
1907 and, apparently, it’s the second tallest wooden building in
the world. That evening we went back to Republic Square to see a
firework display. It was great.

firework display.

Park.
