The central produce market in Almaty. In Russian, it is “Зеленый базар” (“Zeleny Bazar”) or “Green Market”. In Kazakh, it is “Көк Базар” (“Kek bazaar”), which in English means “Blue Bazaar”! You can find it one block north of Panfilov Park, the main entrance is at 53 Zhibek Zholy / Жибек Жолы 53. In Kazakh, “blue” is sometimes used where Westerners would use “green” when describing certain foods and drinks, i.e. “green tea” is “көк шай”, not “жасыл шай”. This friendly but busy traditional market has a wide variety of produce and meats. On the sidewalks outside, vendors peddle clothes and souvenirs. There is very little harassment of tourists here. – Mike Hennessey
