When the Semey — Almaty route comes in handy
Semey is a historic city on the Irtysh, the centre of Abai Region and the home of many figures of Kazakh culture. Almaty is the country’s largest city and its business centre, at the foot of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains. The cities are roughly 840 km apart in a straight line, far enough that sending an item with someone already going beats making the trip yourself.
From Semey people send documents, books, homemade treats and gifts for relatives living in other cities. In Almaty parcels are awaited by students, specialists who moved to the big city for work, and relatives people visit for the holidays.
