“According to the people who live there”.

Almaty has a surprisingly low rating. When I visited 2 years ago, it was clean, safe and modern. I could have imagined living there. I thought Kazakhstan was also doing economically well yakshemash

Grass is always greener on the other side etc. The wages are low so people dream of a work visa in EU.

Then they find themselves somewhere like Milan and realize it’s actually shittier there!
