Kazakhstan

Today we flew to Kazakhstan with Saniya and her family! 

What did we learn about Kazakhstan?

 It's part of both Europe and Asia, and has one of the world's coldest capital cities!

What languages do they speak?

They speak Kazakh and Russian.
Thank you in Kazakh is Rahmet.

How do they live?
Some Kazakh people still live in yurts; a circular structure prevalent among traditional nomadic people. A yurt requires only sturdy, simple materials, can be built in two hours and is easy to dismantle, making it the nomad’s perfect home.


My favourite part of visiting Kazakhstan?
The baursaki! Baursaki are a doughnut-like pastry consisting of fried dough, and are shaped into either spheres or triangles. Delicious!
