When the Taraz — Astana route comes in handy
Taraz is one of the oldest cities in the country, the centre of Zhambyl Region between Almaty and Shymkent. Astana is the capital, home to ministries, government agencies and the headquarters of many companies. The cities are roughly 920 km apart in a straight line, far enough that sending an item with someone already going beats making the trip yourself.
From Taraz people send documents, homemade treats, clothes and gifts for relatives and students. In Astana parcels go to civil servants, head-office staff, students of the capital’s universities and families who have moved to the capital.
