Visa-free travel | Eating your way through Kazakhstan

If you want to understand a city, go to its larder - one of the first places that I visit in Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan, a land-locked country in Central Asia, is the Green Bazaar, the city’s main market, and a Soviet-era remnant. The high-ceilinged hall is filled with sections and aisles selling fruits, vegetables, dairy, meats and cheeses. Friendly shopkeepers call out to us to taste Tajik dried fruits and nuts, Georgian sweets, tea blends, and hard balls of local Kurt cheese.
