Kazakh music video.
I love this music video, it’s so sweet and innocent. I also love all the ethnic dress in the video.
I think it’s a shame people aren’t more educated about the world. Most people would assume Kazakh people look like Arabs due to the stereotypes from the Borat film being there only idea of a Kazakh person.
They never taught me at school about many places. They mostly went over earthquakes. I think we had one lesson where we watched a documentary about Chile.
But I guess that’s the fun of educating ourselves, right?
