Oh, and btw, 70% of population "there" don't celebrate Christmas.
PS Have I just been trolled?
I have lived in Almaty for several years. Celebrating Christmas is not relevant to the school calendar I referenced. In any case a city of 1.7 million is small relatively speaking, especially if there is little else for thousands of kilometers in most directions.
