Curiosity about Kyrgyzstan:

1st postcard from Kyrgyzstan!

I'm so happy today! I received my very 1st postcard from Kyrgyzstan! Here it is:


In the picture you can see The Burana Tower and on the background the Kyrgyz Alatau Mountains.

Curiosity about Kyrgyzstan:
  •  The Kyrgyz together with Arabs, Chinese, Slavs and others, formed the ancient and huge Mongol Empire, created by Genghis Khan. A part of the population still retains some Mongol's traces and customs.

Hope you liked it!
