"Our People Abroad": Altynbek Kurmanaliev's Perspective on Laws, Driving Culture, and Street Cleanliness in Slovakia
Altynbek was born in 1992 in the village of Sıydały, located in the Moscow district of the Chui region.
“I work in a logistics center where we handle cargo reception and product assembly. I graduated from the Faculty of Computer Technologies at the Kyrgyz International University and am a professional in this field. In search of better living conditions and new experiences, I decided to move abroad. I chose Slovakia thanks to my family's support and my own desire. I have been here for two years,” he said.
According to Altynbek, Slovaks are characterized by high discipline and friendliness. “When foreigners first start arriving, they are treated with respect,” he added.
In his opinion, the climate in Senec is quite mild: winters are not too cold, and spring and summer bring pleasant temperatures. The economic situation in the country is stable, and the standard of living exceeds the average.
“What impressed me the most was the respect for laws, strict adherence to order, and punctuality. Everyone works according to a schedule. People are accustomed to discipline, and the streets here are remarkably clean,” he noted.
Compared to Kyrgyzstan, Altynbek highlights the systematization and public order in Slovakia. “We certainly have more traditions of hospitality, while here legality and precision come first,” he said.
At the beginning of his stay in Slovakia, he encountered amusing situations due to the language barrier, but now these moments have become pleasant memories for him.
Altynbek noted that there are quite a few Kyrgyz living in the country. “We keep in touch, meet during holidays, and help each other,” he added.
“In the future, I hope to apply the experience I have gained in my homeland, to become a role model for the youth, and to contribute to improving the quality of life in Kyrgyzstan,” he shared.
Altynbek is married and raising a son. “My family is my main motivation and source of inspiration,” he emphasized.
