@outdoorsydiva: The currency in Kazakhstan is the Kazakhstani tenge (KZT). $1 USD in the current exchange rate is roughly $458 KZT. In USD: ✅YandoGo Ride (like uber) - $1.88 ✅Appetizer, Wine, Meal - $17 ✅2 fresh bakery items - $1.56 ✅9 cocktails for our group - $42 ✅Lunch with drink and fries - $9 ✅Snacks to last for the week - $7 You can definitely stretch your dollar a long way here in Almaty, Kazakhstan! 🇰🇿 In the major cities like Almaty most restaurants and stores take Tap so I have used Apple Pay or credit card. However if you are shopping in the bazaar or going into more rural areas you will want to have some cash on hand. Where to get money when you arrive: ✈️ Airport ATM 🏨 Hotel Concierge
