This was a weekend in which I spoke German, Bulgarian, Russian, and the one word of Kyrgyz I know (jok=no), saw a game of headless sheep polo, got kissed by a drunk Kyrgyz man, ate plov in a yurt, posed for many pictures with Kyrgyz men, listened to an American from LA play a Kyrgyz guitar and sing in Kyrgyz, and was entralled by the Kyrgyz men singing/chanting the Manas national epic poem. It was wonderful and I will with more detail later this week. I didn't celebrate Halloween, but I think a weekend in the Kyrgyz wilderness beats a Halloween party any day.
I have many videos and photos that will be on facebook whenever I get around to it. I just finally put up the last of my eagle hunting photos.
