Kazakh Culture

The Kazakhs are a lot different from the Mongols. For one thing their gers are a lot bigger and certainly more decorative. You can see both the woven and the embroidered wraps around the roof behind these women. The women wear head scarves and are some have a picture of Mecca tucked in the ger rafters.
Their mil tea is considerably saltier and there usually are small fried dough squares that accompany the cheese, cream, butter and yogurt.
It will be interesting to compare Mongolian Kazkahs to the ones in Kazakhstan.
