📣 Traveler notes
Kazakhstan is the largest Central Asian state, recognized for its vast size, natural gas, and oil reserves, which attracts many visitors due to its immense steppes.
- Respect local culture and be mindful when interacting with people.
- Be aware that the culture sometimes emphasizes physical power.
- Due to high value placed on national pride, travelers should avoid negative or insulting comments about the country or its people to prevent confrontation. Also, avoid referencing the film *Borat*, as it is considered misleading and defamatory by the Kazakh people.
