Kazakh Calendar

Kazakh Calendar

On the basis of astronomical observations, different nations created their own time counting systems. They correlated to the movement of the Sun, or the Moon, or to the movement of other planets. Ancient cattle-farmers of Central Asia created their own cyclic animal calendar which was widely used by their descendants – Turkic nomads, through the 20th century. Kazakhs called it – Moushel.

Mushrooms in Atyrau

Mushrooms in Atyrau

I tried mushrooms for the first time in my life when I was in the army. Our military academy was located in the centre of the city on the coast of the Neva River. Once a month we used to go for training to a polygon - a shooting range. During the breaks between the sessions, the nurse who accompanied us, used to distribute to us, the young soldiers, whickered baskets and asked us to collect mushrooms in the woods nearby. In return she treated us with “soukhariki”- toasted sweet bread. Being the son of the steppe, I knew nothing about mushrooms and collected them all, without knowing which ones were edible and which ones were poisonous. January 31 2013, 16:24 2 161 просмотрs
