'Modern life' is a misnomer, modern life is walking around like a ghost with no soul and with no purpose. Keep your traditions alive. That man with his falcons and eagles lives a happy life and he keeps the spirit of his ancestors alive.
Are people showing more pride in and protecting their traditions? I hear now and then about places where people are struggling to keep alive or bring back an indigenous language that was dying out, for example. It’s encouraging. I agree about modern life. It leaves a hole that we are constantly trying to fill.
The amount of respect I have for that falconer. He doesn’t have to live in those conditions, he doesn’t have to train them every day, but he does it for the passion, love and devotion he has for his traditions. We hardly see people like this anymore
Very nice video. You surprised me when you said it is the 9th largest country. I have never been to Kazakistan, and I hope one day to go for holidays. Also, in Kazakistan, there's the wonderful Alabai dog breed.
From California with love ❤️ I wish I could visit Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 and leave whenever I wished as it looks pretty and I love how white the sky and ground looks wow 🤩 so pretty. It’s so hot 🥵 in California all the time
Thank you for showing me a little bit of Kazakstan! I’ve always wanted to go there because my grandfather was born there, but came to Finland and then Sweden in the 1960s and I have no connection to the culture or language. This just makes me want to visit even more and discover more about my heritage.
Thanks so much Eli for this fascinating voyage ! I am amzed that the Kazakh speak Russian so well! I loved that song your friend sang! Greetings from Geneva, Switzerland to the lovely Kazakh people! 🌿
Olivier salad, also known as Russian salad, was originally created by Belgian chef Lucien Olivier in the 1860s. Olivier was the chef at the Hermitage, a renowned restaurant in Moscow, Russia. The salad quickly became popular in Russian cuisine and has since spread to many other countries, often with variations on the original recipe.
she is laughing=)) Ofcourse its not our traditional meal)) But its soooo wide spread here in Kz that some of the kazakh even say its already became traditional to us)) Not seriously) Hi from Almaty))
Hello Thanks for taking us along with you so we can see places we will probably never get a chance to visit or see with our own eyes. Much Love from sunny southern California USA , 🇺🇸 👋
Eli, I really love you channel! As a person who travels a lot I have come to appreciate the many cultures I have been privileged to encounter. My wife, who I met on a trip to Crimea, is Russian and makes similar dishes. Thank you for being a beacon of light for those of us who embrace peace and understanding 🙏🕊&❤
@@sapporinsanbo3609 My wife, like 80% of Crimea's Population is Russian. Both her Parents and grandparents are Russian, and followers of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Her family has no connection to the Turkic ethnic groups.
Eli! Fantastic video! The way I understand it, Kazakhstan was part of Russia (USSR) for many decades. Of course, the people would know the language as well as their own just as you know your Tatar language. It's delightful to see you young women interact & share information. Falconer also a great contribution, showing how new technology is used in the activity now. Great song by lovely singer unifies it all. Thank you!
I like to get to know foreign contries. Eli, your video about Kazakhstan is great. I hope I wil have the chance to visit the country. Please keep making videos like this.
Excellent video. You make the viewer feel so welcome while they're learning about different places, different customs, seeing new sights and wonders. It's such a great pleasure to watch your videos.
It must be so exhausting for Kazakh people when the first thing people mention in Borat... even I roll my eyes and I've never been there. Kazakhstan is a really interesting country it's a shame it is synonymous with that movie
I believe a similar concept was applied to my native Slovakia with "Hostel", which presented the country as composed of either backwards sadists or whores. The director recalled that when he said to his ignorant American family that he was going to Czechia to shoot it, he was advised to take toilet paper...
Зачем вы оправдываетесь перед иностранцами? Этот фильм любят только люди с низким интеллектом и примитивным чувством юмора. Была в Европе. Никто не говорил и не спрашивал о Борате. Там такой юмор не котируется. Европейцы всё-таки намного умнее американцев. Только постоянно комплименты касательно внешности своей получала. У нас в Казахстане действительно очень красивые девушки.
I'm originally from Moscow Oblast, but my mother is from Northern Kazakhstan, although ethnically, she's 3/4 Russian 1/4 Ukrainian. I tried beshbarmak for the first time when I was probably 14-15, my mum and Nan cooked it together in Penza Oblast, where I lived for quite some time. My family didn't have access to horsemeat back then as it wasn't available on the local market in Penza Oblast, so they used beef instead to make it. It was delicious! A few years later, I studied in China and met quite a lot of people from CIS countries. A Kazakh student from my dormitory somehow managed to get real Kazakh horsemeat from his hometown and treated me with some real beshbarmak. It's the best one I've had so far. I was also friends with a Kyrgyz girl that shared Kurt (Kurut) with me, it was a really interesting salty snack to try. Now I live and work in the United Kingdom, occasionally eating so-not-Kazakh food ... fish and chips xD
@@JFA-9019 dude chill, have you been to Central Asia? I am from Kyrgyzstan and we have a long and complicated history with the russians but we do not consider the Soviet era (which had countless flaws) as occupation. Nowhere in modern Kyrgyz history books you will find such a view on the topic. Maybe you should educate yourself first.
@@EmilSosnin Dont listen him... ofcourse traditionaly its should be hoursemeet But there are many people here who also use Beef to cook beshbarmak its also traditional but indeed beshbarmak from hourse meet its much more delicious than from beef or lam
Thank you Eli Another interesting vlog, nice to see the birds of prey they are amazing. Would have been lovely to hear more of your friends beautiful singing, what an amazing voice As always thank you for sharing
Привет, Элина. Мы жарим баурсак по пятницам, а бешбармак в основном готовим на садака ( такая в нашей семье традиция). Замечательное видео, было приятно смотреть. Привет от казашки из России, Волгоградской области 🥀
Here we see Eli as an ambassador with her Kazakh friends, and introduces us to the culture. The falcons are a useful diversion as she asks about what makes Kazakhstan unique. Eli is not dolled up and her pretty friends have an opportunity to shine, especially the singer. This is what makes Eli so special. She can have no makeup and look rather plain, but she never steals the show. We love you Eli.
Hi Eli! What a beautiful country Kazakhstan is! To be honest, I know almost nothing about this country and nation and I have never informed myself because in my society there is that mentality of not acculturating to a group of countries that are not held in high regard, but, in the end it's the fault mine if I go after common conceptions and have to leave them to those who are convinced of them. I realize that there is a lot to learn about both Kazakhstan and the Kazakhs, especially how they have brought their traditions, their language and customs to this day. Even their cuisine which is demanding and takes a little time but must be excellent. 🤤🤤 My best compliments go to these two beautiful girls who cooked all that goodness so very carefully. 😃😋 The boy who trains the eagles and falcons does an activity that is a tradition that I also compliment him for keeping this very noble activity and tradition alive. But a big thank you goes to you, Eli, because with your travels you introduce us to these places which, many of us curious like me, will then go on to get to know them better. I greet you and hug you.😊
This video beautifully captures the essence of Kazakh culture, blending culinary delights with traditional practices. From cooking beshbarmak to experiencing falconry, it provides a rich and immersive glimpse into the life and traditions of Kazakhstan. A truly enlightening and engaging watch!
Fantastic work, it is important to show the world and other cultures to many who are lost in their ignorance and sense of superiority. They become dull, bitter and angry believing their reality is the only thing that matters.
Everything in this video is so beautiful, your Kazakh friends, the landscape and those majestic birds. I love how the falcon was like “you embarassed me dad, you think I’m fat and slow huh? Hold my beer”. I’d pass on the food but the rest looks wonderful, you presented the country and its culture in an amazing light.
@@RuslanAbyl Are you the falconer by any chance or name coincidence? If you are, your birds are worth the effort, they are amazing and very well trained. Loved them❤️
I like listening to Kazakh folks songs, that are fast & energetic in vibes. Nice watching this video & have a glimpse on whats life up there in Kazakhstan.
Kazakhs look different as this nation consists of tribes. Some really look like Native American. Some like Koreans. Some have green or grey eyes looking like Chinese or like Europeans. Mixed nation.
The Keilbasa skin looked thick, definitely 6hr for that sausage. I bet that was good. Beautiful singing, and singer Eli, what a smogossbord with Diana. And the falconer!
The girls are cute - I like the music, too! So natural and kind. I've seen a documentary about hunting with a golden eagle - your personal report adds and enhances this. And the birds are mejestic and beautiful. Thank you for this beautiful rendition of a country I wished I could visit some day
I had beshbarmak in KZ first time I went. Very hearty and delicious, unfortunately in the states what little Kazakh cuisine you can get the horse meat is replaced with lamb
@@michelleturner6865 попробуй выжить при минус 50 градусов зимой. потом пиши еда или не еда. кстати в Лондоне стейк из конины стоит 300-500 фунтов.. почему то твои соплеменники, едят конину с удовольствием. и даже не спрашивают))
In 1975 I went cave exploring with a group of Kazakh teachers in Czechoslovakia - we all spoke a little Russian and laughed so much -- wonderful people -- great video, Eli!
I am hungry just watching you travel! You eat wonderful food! Thanks for sharing. The markets are wonderful. Wonderful, real, whole food. I would love to visit and enjoy this culture, people and food.
отличный репортаж! Эли молодец, казахам тоже привет! Хотелось бы увидеть больше городов или природы, ну или стрит фуд, если видос про еду. Охотнику респект, за то что делает что нравится, главное пребывать в гармонии с собой, удачи
Thanks so much for creating and sharing this informative video. Great job. Keep it up. I spent a week in Almaty around three years ago and absolutely Loved it and the Kazakh people. They were very friendly, helpful and kind. The city and it's people are Beautiful. The food is Fantastic. I stayed downtown and the prices were quite a bargain. The sheshleek by the grand mosque was out of this world. The museum was very interesting and informative with English writing (unlike Japan)! I absolutely hope to go back and visit again - and hopefully stay longer. There was very little English spoken but all signs were also in English (that I recall). Make sure you have Yandex (I didn't then) and a local SIM with Russian, English and Kazakh download! I also hope to venture well beyond Almaty and see more of this vast and beautiful country.
