It is very important to leave
information about yourself and every member of your tourist
group to tourist office, to your friend, to your driver and so
on before your trip.
-
And one more important advice: respect
culture of people, living in any country of world.
-
During
your trip somewhere in the mountains Ak-Sakal will invite you to
his Yurta. Do not refuse it. Ak-Sakal will be very glad to see
you in his nomadic house and it is a great chance for you to
learn more about life of nomads.
-
There
will be tea and butter on the table.
-
Kyrgyz
shepherds are not reach people, but they will never hide from
you "deficient product".
-
Guest's position around the table plays very important role: in
the center opposite the door seats Ak-Sakal - the owner of yurta
- or his honorable guest; women (daughters, wife, mother-in-law)
seat near the table very rarely.
-
You
can pleasantly surprise and give rise to respect of inhabitants,
if before or upon termination of a meal to make "Omin" (Islamic
ritual of blessing of food) - bring your hands to face.
-
In gratitude about hospitality you
can present something from
your things
(light, watch and etc.)
-
Don't
wonder if kyrgyz will see you off very long distance. It
is very pleasant for them to show their neighbors that you were
their guest.
