I was thinking about the actile that located in the west of Kazakhstan. I didn’t expect it to be a quiet place. I visited the place approximately twice and spent there more than six months. Also, we usually go to there in summer and we have relatives and also we go to there by job, but also my parents have their work and also we have relatives and we should visit them every year year and we spent a lot of time today. And I can say that in first my life I didn’t expect that Akta was such a quiet because the first day I lived there in my 13 years old before I started Akta. It’s something in criminal city. However when I go to there it was a little bit criminal however it wasn’t so very difficult city with with big entertainment however as after it’s a place for elderly population to leave and it’s to living there it’s not of cost so much also you can live there with low salary and you don’t have problems with money. In addition there biggest sea, not biggest, the biggest lake in our world and I can say that it’s the place of tourists of Kazakhstan. Also there we have the best hotel of Kazakhstan and the name of the Waterworld Act.

I was thinking about the city that is located in the west of Kazakhstan. I didn't expect it to be a quiet place. I visited the place approximately twice and spent more than six months there. We usually go there in summer, and we have relatives there. We also go there for work, but my parents have their jobs, and we should visit our relatives every year, so we spend a lot of time there. I can say that in my life, I didn't expect that Aktau would be such a quiet place because the first day I lived there, I was 13 years old before I started in Aktau. It's somewhat of a criminal city. However, when I went there, it felt a little bit criminal; it wasn't a very difficult city with big entertainment options. After all, it's a place for an elderly population to live, and living there doesn't cost much. You can live there on a low salary without problems with money. In addition, there is the largest lake in the world, and I can say that it's a tourist destination in Kazakhstan. Also, there we have the best hotel in Kazakhstan, named Waterworld Aktau. There are 362 people, and in my opinion, Aktau is a wonderful place for work and entertainment. It was one of the best places that I didn't expect before.
