I had to get off at the first stop after Almaty and return back. It was night. The town is quiet and peaceful, the railway station is warm. I waited there for 2 and a half hours for the fast talgo train. Cons I really wanted to buy something, but there were no shops at the station.
The staff at the Otar Railway Station are rude, always unhappy, they don't want to answer (like leave me alone), and there's also a problem with the toilet, it's far away and it's scary to walk in the dark, and it's dirty
