Kazakhstan, Karaganda - Walking from the Local History Museum to the Miners' Palace of Culture

One day, while in Karaganda, I decided to buy some kind of a book about the city. And I assumed, that there could be no better place to look for such a thing than the Local History Museum. Well, I went there only to find out, that they don't sell anything at all. I was crushed by this discovery (and the time wasted), and in order to cheer myself up and to make something useful out of this predicament I decided to record a video. Well, here it is. Not a long video, and it ends in the location already visited by us, but it'll do. Because it's always better to have some Karaganda than no Karaganda at all. 0:00 - Start of the walk. We are standing in front of the Local History Museum. The exact address is Erubaev St, 38. 0:10 - One can always expect to see some balbals in a place like that. 1:03 - Local kids having fun in a fountain. This fountain is called The Dry Fountain, by the way. Probably, because it never works. We got lucky, I guess. 1:27 - Erubaev St is in front of us. 1:30 - A bench made of huge pencils. We've also encountered a similar bench in Astana (   • Kazakhstan, Astana - Walking around the Ol...  ), but a little girl prevented us from taking a good look. 2:17 - Statue of Appak Bayzhanov, the discoverer of Karaganda Coal Basin. 3:19 - Corner of Erubaev St and Lobody St. He are going to head west on Lobody St. 6:15 - Musical Comedy Theater can be seen on the other side of the road. 6:42 - A puppet theater. 9:37 - Colonnade of the Miners' Palace of Culture. We walked among its columns in this video:    • Kazakhstan, Karaganda - Walking from Akima...  . 10:15 - Statues on top of the Miners' Palace of Culture. 10:20 - Crossing Buqar-Jyrau Ave using the decorated underpass. 11:58 - Another look at the Miners' Palace of Culture. A lot of things in Karaganda are related to miners and mining, since coal mining was and still is major component of its economy. And now, my walk has ended... The walk took place on 29 June 2024.
