Silk Road - 19 May 2009 - Almati's Central Mosque

We next headed for the Central Mosque. Compared to what we saw in Istanbul, it is not very striking. In addition, it was not very crowded. I asked whether the Mosque was built by the people or the government. I didn’t get a straight answer. I think that what was said was that it was built with money from people and then supplemented by the government. On the way back, we stopped at a chocolate store that was connected to a factory. Some of the women bought some chocolate. Central Mosque in Almati
