What’s the food like in Kazakhstan? Meat (lamb, beef), tomatoes, potatoes, and cucumbers make up the daily diet. At every meal in my Kazakh home, bread and jam appear besides sweets on the table whether it be breakfast or dinner. Few spices are used besides salt and pepper. The food has satisfied me so far and the ten daily cups of chai make it all the better. No vodka yet. Just sampled horse sausage and horse milk. Yummy! I brought out the Chinese Chilli and Zapar loved it. He now spreads it on his bread and into his meal.
The nights with the host family are filled with both silent stretches and hyper conversation. I plant myself in the kitchen and we begin conversing to the best of our abilities and moods. As the days amount, we share more time together. The only time I'm alone is when I am in the shower or going to bed. At nights, Mat (mom) helps me with my homework and afterwards, I watch American movies with Ameriki. Cowboy Bebop and Slumdog Millionaire entertained us and I only find myself in bed around midnight. Up at six and ready for eight solid hours of Russian. It's trudna (difficult) and worthwhile.
