Nomad 'Olympics' in Kyryzystan, buzkashi-kokpar

 Salvete Omnes,



the Eurasian Nomads are having their own games,  their Olympics right now in Bishek and Issyk-Kul (Astana Times report), Kyrgyzstan. 



One of my favorite nomadic sports to watch  is buzkashi (kokpar, kok-boru, Ulak-Tartysh) or 'goat wrestling.'  There is even an American kokpar team participating - cowboys

Nawroz - Nowruz e Shoma Pirooz - Spring has come

 Salvete Omnes,



Spring has some - the ancient Spring Equinox festival in the Northern Hemisphere when the actual year starts after the colds of winter. 



In the ancient tradition it was one of  the most important holidays - Nowruz in the Zoroastrian religious tradition and later cultures. 



Persepolis relieves to commemorate the festival and happy Spring and New Year (in old Slavic pagan tradition that was also the day of the new year).






And Buzkashu in Mazar e Sharif, Afghanistan in 2011
