Disgusting behavior from fellow indian man in Almaty Kazakhstan
It was my first time traveling in Central Asia, and I had an amazing trip. Every single person I met was super friendly. Even though not many of them spoke English, they tried their best to help me. I was approached by so many local Kazakhs who were eager to talk to me and hear my views about their country.
Yesterday, however, was my last day in Almaty, Kazakhstan. While shopping outside the popular Green Bazaar, two Indian men approached me and asked if I was Indian. I said yes and greeted them with handshakes. The very next thing one of them asked was, “How is the nightlife in Almaty?” I told them I didn’t know much about it since I came to see the snow and mountains.
Shockingly, one of the men then shamelessly asked me (paid sex kaha milega? where he could find paid sex. I was taken aback and replied, “If that’s what you’re looking for, you should go to Thailand.” But then he said some truly disgusting things about Kazakh women, ( yaha ki ladki gori h or garam ct h) (they are light skin and have warm v* ….. he said something even worse than that I’m not gonna mention it$
I couldn’t believe how desperate and inappropriate he sounded, and I have a strong feeling he might harass someone in the future. What worries me most is that these men could ruin the beautiful impression Kazakh people have of indian travellers. The locals were so friendly and curious, and it would be awful for people like them to damage that image and soon we will be treated same as most Thai view us.
Edit - He initially asked me about nightlife, and I responded based on that. I didn’t bring up or suggest anything about going to Thailand for sex that wasn’t my intention at all. Sorry if I got that mixed up.
