These photos are actually of Kazakhs that I met in Xinjiang, China, not far from the border of Kazakhstan. Since they are ethnically Kazakh, and they live the traditional nomadic lifestyle of the Kazakhs in Kazakhstan and other Central Asian peoples, I am including them on this page, rather than on my China page...

I wouldn't mind staying in a yurt with a Kazakh family......but the sheep's head? If I could say one additional word other than "thank you" in Kazakh language it would definitely be "vegetarian"
What an interesting time you must have had!
Maya you have been to some fascinating places! I'd like to hear more of your planned trip to Siberia. I'm also very interested in small town USA and love the New England area.
