I really like land border crossings.
I crossed the border by bus.
Everything is clear and fast. Both borders took an hour.
The bus arrived in Petropavlovsk on time.
The only drawback is that there is no toilet at the border.
A serious approach. The corresponding buildings. Employees work in comfortable conditions. Passers-by also undergo control in a good room, inspection of cars under canopies. Unlike the Isilkul border crossing in the Omsk region, where workers sit in incomprehensible booths, and the inspection is in an open area, the Kazakhs are a cut above.
My first border crossing. The border guards are smiling and friendly. Unfortunately, this is not the case everywhere. The time spent crossing the border is 10 minutes there and 15 back, maybe lucky, but overall respect.
