Description

Chornye Glaza is a famous Russian song. (Translated "Black eyes")
If you never have been to Kazakhstan you don´t understand the song ... But if you look in the eyes of a native girl you suddenly do.

This was Exactly one year ago. I have been traveling with my parents to the town I was born. They thought I should at least see it once and visit our relatives.
When I look back I really had had a wonderful time and met wonderful people.
Even though my girlfriend broke up with me one day before I left, 3000 miles away from home, I had a good feeling about this place. It was some kind of a new beginning.
The russian melodies in the taxi reminded me of old days, when I only had listened to that kind of music.
Kazakhstan really was a whole new world to me. Most of the people living on the edge of existence and at the same time some few ,who don´t know what to buy next. The high criminality in the suburbs wasn´t surprising when you look around you, but at the same time it seems that those, who live under such bad circumstances are the most cordial and large hearted people.
This girl actually is some sort of relative to me. She lived at my aunts house right next to the little shack we lived in with my other aunt.
Alina was her name and she sticked to me from the first day on and really cheered me up. She went out to play on the street every day .. though the street wasn´t really a street but rather more of a big mudwhole... And perhaps it was better that way because if the cars
hadn´t to go super slow to drive around each of the giant wholes ,
many kids would have been died.
Every single car driver in Kazakhstan is insane (and you have no idea how insane :D).

Beautiful :aww: She seems to really have black eyes ... like my sister, when she was young even if we are not from Kazakhstan.

By the way, it's always important to know our roots, where we come from, ect.. it helps to remind us who we are. Even if I'll move (probably for august), I'll always think of my little village. :P
