Of Uzbekistan plan: introduction uzbek Tea ceremony

Kupkari

• It is very difficult to describe this type of national games and amusements on paper. One must become a participant of these races in order to understand their rapture. The tourist firms of Uzbekistan can organize this show for you, but you will not be able to find anything better than what the men in kishlaks organize.The story is written from the words of Ikrom a young man from Samarkand, a repeated winner of the local races and goat tearing. the decision of conducting races was made unexpectedly as always, while drinking evening tea at the choyhona. The preparation takes one week. The men-participants gather the money. With these dues of the members a car was bought before (about 15 years ago). Sometimes the money was enough to buy a Jiguli and sometimes even a Volga. Nowadays the gathered money is mostly spent for the organization of the feast after the races for all the participants and a good robe. The tables and wooden benches, kurpachas (cotton mattresses) and carpets for the trestle-beds, as well as the crockery are pulled to the choyhona. While the young men race on the steppe, the old men prepare plov, shurpa and tea.
