Re: CROSSROADS OF INNER ASIA Part I (4.00 / 5)

After reading this, I have several questions, some of them quite silly:

you speak of your yurtas - where exactly are you from? I thought Kamchatka, but now I have to stick to the Far Eastern Plains
that cricket ball must travel quite a bit further in the high altitude, no?
how do you communicate with your Nepali friend? does he speak English?

Thanks for these great photos. You made me daydream of far-away places, and that is always welcome.

Re: CROSSROADS OF INNER ASIA Part I (4.00 / 9)

I'm from Sakha republic, formerly known as Yakutia. Maybe some time in future I will post a diary about my home especially remote place deep in forest on the south of republic where my mother still lives. Last time I visited it three years ago after accidental death of my father (he drowned in the river returning after second operation on heart).

About cricket I don't know much not only about cricket on such altitude. As I wrote we passed playing soldiers from 300-500 m above - from such distance men (and women) are mere black dots, but I can vouch they played cricket. (Batman I can recognize).

My friends were used to be cooks in Buddhist institute for Westerners and they know English well.

Please do. I think a lot of people here would be very interested. My condolences regarding your father.

Thank you for expressing condolences. Three years past as he's gone and time heals. I have never seen him in my dreams that's mean he departed and probably already reincarnated ;).

I never see my father in my dreams but my mother always does.

One day when I woke still very tired and he was standing there, looking at me. I hadn't seen him in 30 years.

Sakha is so beautiful. And so is it's flag.

Now you gave me 2 places to add to my list of places to visit.
