Dear [Pen-friend],

Greetings from Kazakhstan! I'm currently staying in Almaty with a group of friends. I've never been to this part of the world before, and I must say, it's absolutely stunning here with the mountains and beautiful landscapes.

I've been here for a few days now and have already visited some breathtaking sights like Big Almaty Lake and Medeu Ice Skating Rink. However, I haven't had the chance to try traditional Kazakh cuisine yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

I'm coming back in a week, and I can't wait to share more about my adventures in Kazakhstan with you. Hope all is well with you!

Best regards,
[Your Name]
