I would like to tell you about a quiet place visited with my uncle. He is a big traveler, especially within his own country. Two years ago, he decided to take a road trip in his van and invited me along with his. He knows and loves to travel too. He wanted to explore the southern part of Kadastan and of course, I jumped at the choice. We travelled through the south of Kadastan in his motor home visiting three cities. This place took us to Kistan, Siminthi and Almethi. But one place that really stands out in my memory is a quiet spot we found near Shyamkent. Shyamkent itself is a very peaceful city surrounded by mountains, forests and lakes. We found a secreted spot by the river completely along with nature and wildlife. It was an incredible experience. We spent the day fishing, casting few small fish and two larger ones which were incredibly delicious. I had never tasted fish like that before. We also swam in the river which was crystal clear and a beautiful blue color. We stayed there until nightfall and I can tell you that the night sky in the countryside is completely different from the night sky in the city. We were completely alone, the only sounds we heard were the animals and birds. I recommended that this experience to anyone. So I am grateful I had the opportunity to visit this peaceful place and experience the tranquility of nature.

Shyamkent itself is a very peaceful city surrounded by mountains, forests, and lakes. We found a secluded spot by the river, completely in tune with nature and wildlife. It was an incredible experience. We spent the day fishing, catching a few small fish and two larger ones, which were incredibly delicious. I had never tasted fish like that before. We also swam in the river, which was crystal clear and a beautiful blue color. We stayed there until nightfall, and I can tell you that the night sky in the countryside is completely different from the night sky in the city.
