When we got back to the resort there was a meal prepared for us. Jack, Pamela and Ramazan,are the only ones who ate and the reason the others weren't eating was because they were observing the Muslem Ramidan.That is a 30 day fast. You cannot eat during the day, from sunrise to sundown. This was a typical Kazak meal- salad, hot soup, and a main dish which was cubed potatoes and some strange meat which we thought was horse meat, so we didn't eat the meat.
