A parcel from Shymkent to Ust-Kamenogorsk: who sends what
Shymkent is the country’s third-largest city and the trading hub of the south. Ust-Kamenogorsk (Oskemen) is the centre of East Kazakhstan Region where the Irtysh meets the Ulba, a metallurgy city and the gateway to Altai. The cities are about 1,310 km apart as the crow flies, one of the longest routes within the country, where a plane is far faster than a train.
From Shymkent people send homemade treats, clothes and textiles from the local markets, documents and things for relatives who left to study or work. In Ust-Kamenogorsk parcels go to engineers at the metallurgical plants, students and families.
