(Almaty) Extime Lounge ★★★

  Almaty International Airport Extime Lounge  ★★★  : 24hr 2025-04-26 SAT The only airport lounge in Almaty. Back to the airport. I had the whole plan for a day in Almaty, even cosidering to visit the Big Almaty lake, but ended up having dinner and sleeping int the park. Now I'm old enough to suffer from jetlag. Then entrance to the lounge. The buffet area seemd to have lots of food, but not much to pick once I look closely.  It paired well with the drinks though. Rocket was my favorite. Now to Frankfurt.

4700 Lincoln Ave, Oakland, CA 94602, United States   Beautiful cathedral in a park where you can peacefully walk around. 2025-04-26 SAT Greek Orthdox church Korean_street_food in Almaty. Interestingly, most people seem to like it but Koreans left terrible reviews. This street seems to be where the locals hang out. Wejście do parku We still had time before going back to the airport, but were totally exhausted, probably the most in my life. So, we just sat there in the bench watching the cathedral till the night comes. One of the famous Korean convenience stre, CU has its branch here, with lots of Korean products. We took a rest in the table where someone left trash from cup noodles. A typical scene that can be seen anywhere in Seoul. Menorca (2025.4)

Abylai Khan Ave 55, Almaty 050000, Kazakhstan   Luxurious traditional restaurant. The taste was brand for me. 2025-04-26 SAT Dinner in Almaty. Heading to Menorca. It was the worst trasnfer ever, 3 times in Almaty, Frankfurt, and Barcelona. Especially 13 hours in Almaty was not as fun as I expected, maily because lack of sleep and/or I'm too old for this. 11:10~14:05 (6:55) ICN(T1) > ALA(T2) Air Astana KC910 /  Boeing 767 Jet Simple seat setting. The traveler package is cute. I should use the bag for something. The screeen is rather small. New movies provided. It looks like one of the famous Korean snack, Goraebap, but was tasteless. I asked for whiskey that may help me to fall asleep, but the flight attendant gave me wine. She didn't even hesitate. I don't know why but I think I'd better blame my English. I've got my whickey anyway. I liked Air Astana because they kept asking us if we needed anything drink, which I've never experienced before. So I began coll...
