Kazakhstan wants you to drink horse milk
The American movie “Borat” is said to have Kazakhstan in an uproar and a leading tour company, Sayat Tour, is aiming some new excursions at Americans to see the “real country” as opposed to its crude depiction in the film.
“Sayat has been a major player in the tourism market in Kazakhstan since 1993 providing high quality service and unforgettable experiences for our guests. Our new tours will show the real Kazakhstan,” said Sayat Direcgtor Inna Ray.
Sayat Tours says the character “Borat,” played by actor Sacha Baron Cohen in the comedy hit, “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan,” unfairly depicts the country.
The new tours are called “Kazakhstan vs. Boratistan” and “Jagzhemash!!! See the Real Kazakhstan.” They include visits to the cosmopolitan Almaty and its surroundings, tours of ancient sites such as the Hodja Akhmed Yassaui Mausoleum in Turkestan, as well as opportunities to meet and interact with the real Kazakhs.
In addition to sightseeing, the tours also include visits to local bazaars, artifact shops and high fashion boutiques; as well as sampling kumyss, the Kazakh traditional drink made from fermented horse milk.
Said Marianna Tolekenova, Sayat’s executive director:
“With the release of ‘Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan,’ we are hoping many Americans will want to engage in ‘cultural learnings’ of that unknown ‘glorious nation’ for their own ‘make benefit.’ That is why we are launching these new tours and hoping the Americans will come visit us.”
