So I am going to talk about one area of the countryside that I’m particularly fond of. So it is a small area like you could just outside of the city Astana and what makes it special is it is a place where you can escape the noise of the city and feel completely relaxed which is actually something you really can find in urban areas there. And it’s not only the natural beauty that it makes you special, but also the sense of calm, it evokes. Also in spring, the area comes alive with like flowers, and it almost feels as through time slows down, you know, when you’re there. So if I had known about it earlier, I would have spent far more time outdoors over the years, especially I think with my family because it is a great place to kind of feel connected I would say and clear clear your mind or just reflect. So what I particularly find impressive is the way this place brings like the community together. So people of all ages kind of gather there for, I would say, small events like techniques or something. And not only does offer an escape from noise and technology, but it also fosters real human connection. So in short, had I’ve been asked to recommend a place to connect with nature, this would be my first choice, I would say.
