Tenge was changed, according to the official exchange rate, 8 thousand tenge was released. Som with pennies, this exchanger offered 6 thousand Som. We were surprised by such a difference and received something like "no more, unfortunately." And as soon as the employee heard that we would go ask around in other exchangers, he offered 7.5 thousand "on his own". To check, we still went to neighboring establishments, and literally in the next door, they offered initially close 8 thousand without any problems. Later, money was changed in many exchangers of the city and deviations from the official exchange rate were insignificant. Here, the employee just wanted to put 2 thousand in his pocket at the expense of undecided tourists.
