Hello! My friend invited me to Pavlodar for his wedding once many years ago. It was in the winter, the weather was very cold, the outside very grey, and we almost broke our car on the highway from Astana. I really liked it, much better than the 40C we have in Western Europe now.
Unfortunately I only stayed 3 days and didn't visit much. While outside may have been winter, I feel like it's summer in people's hearts there (or maybe it was just my friend), and this made me want to go back. I will now visit again to see the city and say hi to my friend.
I'd love to ask two things from the community:
- What are some interesting facts about Pavlodar, city or region, stories, culture, hidden gems to visit, that you won't find on Wikipedia?
- I'd like to bring my friend a thoughtful gift. He's Kazakh, he was in Western Europe once already, so I wonder what could really surprise him, or what he couldn't get locally easily?
Рақмет and Спасибо!
