00:05 Welcome to Astana
00:07 In Kazakh language, Astana means "City Queen"
00:10 [music]
00:13 The first president of Kazakhstan, Nul Sultan Nazarbayev
00:16 made Astana as the new face of modern Kazakhstan
00:20 [music]
00:49 [music]
00:53 The cold winter wind welcomes me
00:55 in the new city that was built in the middle of the city
00:59 The buildings are high and full of Astana's sky
01:03 with the tower that is the symbol of the luxury of the city
01:06 [music]
01:11 One of the icons of the city, Bay Terek Tower
01:14 [music]
01:23 It's not only a symbol
01:25 but every detail has a symbolic meaning
01:28 [music]
01:40 Enjoy the view of the second coldest city in the world
01:44 on the top floor of Bay Terek Tower
01:46 with a height of 97 meters
01:48 which means the year when Astana became the capital of Kazakhstan
01:53 Masha Allah, it's beautiful
01:55 [music]
01:58 The design and symbol of the tower are closely related to the traditional belief of the people
02:03 which is the tree of life
02:05 [music]
02:13 Bay Terek Tower is one of the iconic buildings in Astana
02:17 It's named after a tree in the folk tale
02:20 where the bird of prey lay eggs on the tree
02:23 and it has the meaning of life and hope
02:26 [music]
02:33 The tower's structure represents three pillars of creation
02:36 the world under the ground, the earth, and the sky
02:40 The tower's weight is more than 1000 tons
02:43 supported by 500 long poles
02:46 Meanwhile, the top of the tower is decorated with a big glass ball with a diameter of 22 meters
02:51 On the top floor of Bay Terek Tower
02:54 there is a handprint of the first president of Kazakhstan, Nusrat Nazarbayev
02:59 [music]
03:03 Astana is now metamorphosed
03:05 into a megapolis with a bunch of sophisticated facilities
03:09 luxurious, and high-tech that is vibrant
03:12 The building with the shape of a ball covered with glass is my next destination
03:17 [music]
03:21 Named after the Nur Alem Pavilion
03:23 this place was once the location of the international exhibition
03:26 which discusses the future energy in 2017
03:31 Kazakhstan was the first time to hold an international exhibition
03:35 On the top floor of Astana Expo
03:40 we can see the beautiful view of Astana city at 360 degrees
03:45 and we can also see the picture of Astana city in the future
03:48 [music]
03:54 It's sophisticated
03:55 That's my first impression when I was in the Museum of the Future of Kazakhstan
04:01 The 8 floors of the building has different themes of exhibition on each floor
04:06 Starting from the theme of solar energy
04:09 wind energy
04:12 water energy
04:16 to the power of the outer space
04:19 All of them are sophisticated with multimedia technology
04:23 If you want to visit, I suggest you to start exploring from the top floor
04:29 so you won't miss the future projects in Astana
04:33 [music]
04:48 Since becoming the capital city in 1997
04:52 Astana has been developing to be one of the most modern cities in Central Asia
04:58 It's proven by one of the most magnificent and beautiful places of worship
05:02 Agung Astana Mosque
05:04 The biggest mosque in Central Asia is also the biggest in the world
05:10 with the capacity of 235,000 people
05:13 Masha Allah
05:15 As if we don't want to lose its identity
05:18 the main prayer room of the mosque is covered with the special carpet of Kazakhstan
05:22 The wall on the side of the Qibla is written 99 Asma'ul Husna
05:26 which is illuminated by the light of the mosque as if it's a street to the prayer table
05:31 How does Islam become more expanded in this city?
05:37 In the name of Allah, the most merciful
05:39 Astana is the center of our country
05:43 The religion of Kazakh Muslims is black
05:49 It's a symbol of that
05:51 It's a symbol of the freedom of the people
05:58 When the capital city Astana is established
06:01 Islam is established in a very good way
06:05 Especially among the young people
06:08 Islam is a very present place
06:11 When the young people come to Astana
06:14 and learn about the present
06:16 They will be very happy
06:18 For example, we were afraid of the earthquake in 2023
06:26 The mosque's tower is 63 meters high
06:32 It stands tall and symbolizes the age of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH
06:45 Not only a place to pray, the mosque is also a place to do other religious activities
06:50 including saying the holy promise of marriage
06:53 This room is where the marriage takes place before the bride is registered as a country
07:00 So here, the marriage is done in a religious way
07:12 The mosque is also a place to learn about Islam
07:15 Indeed, the best place on earth and most beloved by Allah is the mosque
07:22 Because of its sincerity, the mosque is a place of good, righteousness, and faith
07:30 [Music]
07:38 I was invited to one of the coldest cities in the world
07:49 to try ice skating in the Alau Ice Palace
07:53 The main attraction of this ice skating place
07:57 is the 400-meter ice rink with a viewing platform, two ice hockey courts, and other supporting spaces
08:05 I was more curious to go down to the rink
08:07 I prepared all the necessary equipment
08:10 Because it was my first time, I used a help tool
08:13 It was difficult to balance myself on this ice rink
08:17 [Music]
08:20 It turns out that ice skating is quite difficult to do
08:34 It's also quite far, but it's still a fun experience
08:37 This place is one of the biggest ice skating rink in the city of Astana
08:41 Because it's visited by the people and it's also a cultural attraction
08:46 Built in 2010, Alau is equipped with an ultra-modern facility that enables the ice to be created quickly
08:55 Thanks to its unique architecture and location, Alau is considered as a tourist attraction and a sports haven of the city
09:02 [Music]
09:27 In the midst of the struggle to spread the teachings of Allah, I saw the hope that keeps on burning in Astana
09:33 Through a madrasah, teenagers in this city are deepening their religious knowledge
09:39 If in Indonesia, the madrasah is identical with primary school education to the upper level
09:51 Astana Madrasah is different
09:53 Astana is an educational center for the upper level students
09:57 Under the supervision of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Kazakhstan,
10:11 The madrasah teaches the Quran and Hadith, Arabic language, and general knowledge
10:18 [Speaking in Kazakh]
10:22 [Speaking in Kazakh]
10:26 [Speaking in Kazakh]
10:29 [Speaking in Kazakh]
10:32 [Speaking in Kazakh]
10:39 [Speaking in Kazakh]

10:53 [Speaking in Kazakh]
10:56 [Music]
11:10 [Speaking in Kazakh]
11:17 [Speaking in Kazakh]
11:20 [Music]
11:37 Hundreds of students from various regions come to study and live here
11:42 Students are prepared to become religious teachers at the institute
11:46 The staff of the Ministry of Religious Affairs is also a scholar
11:49 My name is Nur Muhammad Bulat, I am 17 years old
11:53 I came from the village of Kazakhstan
11:57 I came here because I wanted to study
12:00 I hope I can continue my studies here
12:04 I want to continue my studies in Islamic countries
12:09 I am very happy to study here
12:12 I was a student at the beginning, but now I am a teacher
12:17 I hope I can continue my studies here
12:20 I want to continue my studies here and become a religious teacher
12:25 [Music]
12:33 Not only the activities of studying in class, students are also introduced to the customs and traditions of the Kazakh culture
12:39 Masya Allah, from them, we all hope
12:49 I hope the knowledge gained will be a good one
12:52 [Music]
12:59 [Music]
13:02 Spreading benefits through education is also one of the Indonesian diaspora's path
13:22 He is Prof. Sonny Irawan, a lecturer of oil technology at Nazarbayev University
13:28 One of the best universities in the country
13:31 Having experience in the oil industry for more than two decades
13:40 He led Prof. Sonny to step on his feet in the second coldest city in the world
13:51 Prof. Sonny, why did you decide to become a lecturer at this university, in Kazakhstan
13:56 Which is not a well-known country in Indonesia
13:59 Yes, Kazakhstan is very difficult to explain in Indonesian
14:07 I have my own parents, to say Kazakhstan, the tongue is twisted
14:12 I want to find something
14:14 Because before I have traveled to various countries
14:18 I have not tried to go to a cold place like the snow
14:23 I want to try to go to a place where there is snow
14:29 I searched on the internet, Nazarbayev is using the energy of the lecturers
14:35 And the lecturers are suitable for my study
14:43 Four years ago, this man from Surabaya spread knowledge for the Kazakhstani youth
14:48 The different cultures were obstacles, but the slow can be accepted
14:53 What is the challenge of teaching at this international university?
14:59 The students are from various countries
15:02 What is the challenge of teaching at this international university?
15:05 The students are local, but the lecturers are international
15:10 So there is still a gap, the students are still passive
15:15 Like Indonesia, the local students are passive
15:20 But the lecturers try to make the students free and open
15:26 If you want to complain or ask questions, don't be spontaneous
15:31 Don't always be quiet, but the culture here is polite
15:36 The country is in the middle of the world's largest land
15:41 Now it is a motorbike that moves in Central Asia through the oil reserve
15:46 I don't know how long Prof. Soni will be in this country like the oil
15:55 But for sure, he always misses the land
15:59 The country is in the middle of the world's largest land
16:04 The country is in the middle of the world's largest land
16:09 The country is in the middle of the world's largest land
16:12 The country is in the middle of the world's largest land
16:19 The country is in the middle of the world's largest land
16:26 [music]
16:29 The tradition is still rooted in the life of the Kazakh people
16:33 I had the opportunity to see one of them, Taurus
16:37 A tradition welcomes a new day in the autumn
16:41 The picture is like this
16:43 [music]
17:08 Usually, people gather in every corner of the city, not except in Wisma Indonesia
17:14 This moment is always waited for every year by the people of Kazakhstan
17:18 Taurus is the celebration of the coming of the autumn
17:22 Usually on March 25th, we usually make an event together
17:27 To respect the people of Kazakhstan and the people of Tajikistan
17:30 The holiday is long, three days, usually there are many events here
17:35 [music]
17:40 In 2016, this tradition is recognized by UNESCO as a heritage of the Tabenda culture
17:46 Young people come to enjoy various shows, from dancing, singing, to the feast
17:55 A male goat is usually served as a symbol of prosperity
18:01 [music]
18:10 This goat is usually served at important events in Kazakhstan
18:14 Interestingly, each part of the goat is cut into 12 parts
18:19 Each part has a certain meaning, such as the thigh
18:22 Which means the most important part should be given to the most respected person
18:27 [music]
18:30 Thank you so much
18:32 [music]
18:35 [applause]
18:38 [music]
18:55 [applause]
19:00 I got the back part, which is given to the unmarried woman to get a partner
19:07 Let's try it
19:08 Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
19:10 Hmm, delicious
19:13 [music]
19:24 It is also a must-have in the holiday, such as the Naurus soup
19:29 The food made from milk, goat meat, salt, and seeds as a symbol of joy
19:37 Naurus has been celebrated since 5000 years ago
19:41 The first Persian nation to celebrate it spread to the West and Central Asia
19:49 Kazakh people believe that Naurus will bring happiness to the next year
19:57 [music]
20:06 Kazakhstan is also a place for about 200 Indonesian citizens
20:11 Most of them are Muslims
20:13 [music]
20:15 Away from the land, at certain moments such as Ramadan, it must be a moment to benefit together
20:22 The medicine of longing for the village of Halaman, one of them is to gather with friends from the same province
20:27 [music]
20:29 For example, break the fast together
20:31 All activities are initiated by the KBRI
20:34 So that the UNI in Astana and its surroundings can still tie the thread of the Queen of Mercy
20:39 [music]
20:40 Of course, the special Indonesian dessert is what is expected
20:44 [music]
20:48 In Kazakhstan, the tradition is that the Idul Fitri is not a holiday
20:54 People work
20:55 Coincidentally, the Indonesian people here, especially in the KBRI, follow the holiday in Indonesia
21:04 Then, every Idul Fitri or Idul Raha, we hold an event for the Silaturahmi here in Wisma Indonesia or Wisma Duta
21:17 We provide all Indonesian dishes and invite all Indonesian people
21:23 Whether those who are Muslim, those who celebrate it, or those who are non-Muslim
21:27 There are Catholics, there are Christians, there are Hindus, everyone gathers here
21:32 [music]
21:41 Astana, with all its splendor, is more special with Islam in it
21:46 [music]
21:47 Not only as an identity, but also as the main pillar that keeps its people on the path in the midst of the development
21:56 [music]
